Big yellow taxi lyrics
by Amy Grant
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
[CHORUS]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know
What you got till it's gone
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
Shoo bop bop bop bop
Shoo bop bop bop bop
They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum and
Then they charged all the people
Twenty-five bucks just to see 'em
[repeat CHORUS]
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
[repeat CHORUS]
I said they paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
[repeat CHORUS]
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Carried off my old man
[repeat CHORUS 2x]
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
Shoo bop bop bop bop
Hey, steamrolled paradise
Put up a parking lot
