Big Yellow Taxi - Bob Dylan

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 taxi took away my old man

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
