Big Yellow Taxi

They paid paradise to 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 got 'til it's gone

They paid paradise to put up a parking lot

They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum

And don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?

They paid paradise and put up a parking lot.

Hey, farmer, farmer, put away that DVD now.

Give me the spots on my apple and leave me the birds and the bees, please.

And don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?

Birds on the beach, please

And don't it always seem to go

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

The pay paradise, the purple parking lot

Late last night, I heard the screen door slam

A big yellow taxi took away my home, woman

And don't it always seem to go

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

I only paid paradise to put my pocket in line

Paid paradise to put my pocket in line

- Stop the drip, stop the drip.

But my doctor, it's like, it's like he said.

You want me, my sugar baby, ooh ooh.
