Big Yellow Taxi lyrics
*featuring Vanessa Carlton
[Adam Duritz]
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin hot spot
Don t it always seem to go
That you don t know what you got til it s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
[Vanessa Carlton]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop
[Adam]
They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no
Don t it always seem to go
That you don t know what you got til it s gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
[Vanessa]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop
[Adam]
Hey farmer, farmer, put away your 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 got til it s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?
[Vanessa]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop
[Adam]
Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Don t it always seem to go
That you don t know what you got til it s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Well, don t it always seem to go
That you don t know what you got til it s gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey
Paved paradise and put up a parking lot
[Vanessa]
Ooooh, bop bop bop
Ooooh, bop bop bop
[Adam, Vanessa]
I don t wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna giving it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Now you wanna giving it all away
Hey, paved paradise to put up a parking lot
