Big Yellow Taxi

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 got 'til it's gone
 They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
 Oh, bop, bop, bop
 Oh, bop, bop, bop
 They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
 And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
 No, no, no
 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
 Oh, bop, bop, bop
 Oh, bop, bop, bop
 Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
 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
 Oh, bop, bop, bop
 Why not?
 Oh, bop, bop, bop

 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
