Big Yellow Taxi lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Big Yellow Taxi lyrics They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot A pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot Don t it always go to show You never know what you got till it s gone ? They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot. They took all the trees, they put them in a tree museum They charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them Don t it always go to show You never know what you got till it s gone ? They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot. Hey farmer, farmer, put away that D.D.T Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please, Don t it always go to show You never know what you got till it s gone ? They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot. Late last night I heard my screen door slam A big yellow buldozer took away the house and land Don t it always go to show You never know what you got till it s gone ? They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot. Lyrics by Joni Mitchell. song lyrics
