Paroles de Big Yellow Taxi

They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a botique And a swinging hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Til it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot They took all the trees And put them in a tree museum And they charged the people A dollar and a half just to see 'em Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Til it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot Hey farmer, farmer Put away that d.d.t. now Give me spots on my apples But leave me the birds and the bees Please! Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Til it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot 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've got Til it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
