Lyrics Home B-Sides 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've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

VC: ooo bop bop bop. lalalala

They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
And they charged all 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.

VC: ooo bop bop bop. lalalala

Hey, farmer, farmer, put away your D.D.T.
I don't care about spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees, please!

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 paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

VC: ooo bop bop bop. ooo bop bop bop.

Listening late last night I heard the screen door slam.
And the big yellow taxi took my girl away.

Now 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.

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 paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Hey hey hey
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

VC: ooo bop bop bop. ooo bop bop bop.

I don't wanna give it.
Why'd you wanna give it
Why'd you wanna give it all away
hey hey hey
(VC background)
I don't wanna give it.
Why'd you wanna give it
Why'd you wanna give it all away
I don't wanna give it.
Why'd you wanna give it
Why'd you wanna give it all away
Girl, you're givin' it all, givin' it all away

VC: Why you want to... Why do you want to

Cause she's givin it all away.
hey hey hey

VC: lalalalala

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
