“Big Yellow Taxi”

 “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

 

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

And then they charged all the people 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

 

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now

Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, ‘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 a parking lot

 

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 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
