Keb' Mo' - Big Yellow Taxi lyrics

Well, it's a paved paradise They put up a parking lot With a big hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot Now don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise, put up a parking lot They took all the trees Put them in a tree museum Then they charged the people Dollar and a half just to see 'em And don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it's gone And they paved paradise, put up a parking lot Hey, farmer, farmer Put away that D.D.T. now Give me the spots on my apples But leave me the birds and the bees, please Now don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot Well, late last night She heard the screen door slam And the big yellow taxi Took away her old man, how about that? Well, don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it's gone And they paved paradise, put up a parking lot They paved paradise, put up a parking lot Paved paradise, put up a parking lot They put up a parking lot Yeah, they put up a parking lot Put up a parking lot Put up a parking lot, stop it They put up a parking lot, yeah I said, stop it, no more parking lots Build some parks, plant some trees
