Big Yellow Taxi (Live)

[Verse 1] They paved paradise and put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot [Chorus] Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? They paved paradise, put up a parking lot [Verse 2] They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em [Chorus] Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? They paved paradise, and they put up a parking lot [Verse 3] Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT now Give me spots on my apples But leave me the birds and the bees, please [Chorus] Don't it always seem to go TYou don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot [Verse 4] Late last night, I heard that screen door slam And a big yellow tractor come and pushed around my house Pushed around my land, I said -- [Chorus] Don't it always seem to go You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot [Verse 5] Late last night, I heard that screen door slam again And a big yellow taxi come and took away my old man, again [Chorus] Don't it always seem to go You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone? They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot Oh they pave paradise and they put those parking lots They pave paradise and they put up a parking lot They put up a parking lot They put up a parking lot
