Big Yellow Taxi (Live)

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

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

Don't you know, it seems 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 out the trees and put 'em in a tree museum

And they charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em

And 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, farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now

Gimme 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 got till it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Late last night, heard the screen door slam

Big yellow taxi took away my old man

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

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

Paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
