Lennon Big Yellow Taxi song lyrics

mmm. mamamama

they paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

with a pink hotel and a boutiqe 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

they took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum

and they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them

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

mmm. mamamamama

hey farmer farmer put away your DDT now

so give me 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

mmm. mamamamama

late last night i heard the screen door slam

and a big yellow taxi took away my old man

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

mmm. mamamamama

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

mmm... mamamamama
