Big Yellow Taxi
Vanessa Carlton

They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got till it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot



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've got till it's gone

They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot



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 till it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey now, they've paved paradise to put up a parking lot

Why not?



Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door sway

And a big yellow taxi took my girl away

Now don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got till it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey now now, don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got till it's gone

They paved paradise to put up a parking lot

Why not, they paved paradise

They put up a parking lot

Hey hey hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot



I don't wanna give it

Why you wanna give it

Why you wanna givin it all away

Hey, hey, hey

Now you wanna give it

I should wanna give it

'cause you're givin it all away, no no



I don't wanna give it

Why you wanna give it

Why you wanna givin it all away

'cause you're givin it all givin it all away yeah yeah

'cause You're givin it all away



Hey, paved paradise, to put up a parking lot

la,la, la, la, la, la, na ,na, na, na, na, nah

Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
