Lennon & Maisy - Big Yellow Taxi lyrics

Mmm mamamama Mmm mamamama They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot With a pink hotel and a boutique and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot Mmm mamamamama Mmm mamamamama Hey farmer farmer put away your DDT now So give me spots on my apples Leave me the birds and the bees please Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot Mmm mamamamama Mmm mamamamama Late last night i heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi took away my old man Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot Mmm mamamamama Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot Mmm mamamamama Mmm mamamamama Mmm mamamamama Mmm mamamamama
