Big Yellow Taxi lyrics

They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hotspot 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 all the people A dollar and a half just to see them Hey, farmer, farmer Put away that DDT now Give me spots on my apples But leave me the birds and the bees Please! Late last night I heard a screen door slam And a big yellow taxi Took away my old man They paved paradise And put up a parking lot They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
