Big Yellow Taxi

Big Yellow Taxi - Rock Crusade

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel a boutique

And a swinging hot spot

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got

Till it's gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees

Put 'em 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

Till it's gone

They paved paradise

And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer

Put away that d d t now

I don't care about 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 hey now they paved paradise

To put up a parking lot why not

Listen late last night I heard the screen door slam

And a big yellow taxi took my girl away

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 well don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise to put up a parking lot why not

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey hey hey paved paradise and put up a parking lot

I don't wanna give it why you wanna give it

Why you wanna giving it all away Hey hey hey

Now you wanna give it I should wanna give it

Now you wanna giving it all away

I don't wanna give it why you wanna give it

Why you wanna giving it all away

'Cus you give it all

'Cus you give it all

Should give it all away

Hey paved paradise to put up a parking lot
