Big Yellow Taxi

Song by Counting Crows

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
til its 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 seem ’em

No no no
Don’t it always seem to go,
That you don’t know
what you’ve got
Til its gone

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away the 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’ve got
Til its gone

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey, now they paved paradise
To put up a parking lot

Why not?
Listenin’ late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took my girl away

Now,
don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know
what you’ve got
Til its 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
Til its gone

They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Why not?
They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot

Hey hey hey
Paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
I don’t want give it
Why you want give,

Why you want
give it all away?
Hey hey hey

Now you want give it,
Ah she want to give it
Cause she givin’ it all away

Now now now
I don’t want give it
Why you want give,
Why you want give it all away?
Giving it all, giving it all away
Why you want it?

Why do you want it?
(She’s giving it all away)
Hey pave paradise
Put up a parking lot
