Big Yellow Taxi

Amy Grant

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


Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop





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


And then they charged all the poeple twenty-five bucks 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


Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop





Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now


Give me 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


I say, they paved paradise and they 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


Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop





Late last night I heard the screen door slam


And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man


Don't it always seem to go


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


They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot


Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop





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


Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop





Oh, now, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lot


Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop


Hey, steam rolled paradise and put up a parking lot


Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
