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 they charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em.
Don't it always seem to go?
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone...
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Hey farmer, farmer, put away that DDT now, give me 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've got til it's gone.
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Late last night 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've got til it's gone...
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Joni Mitchell: Big Yellow Taxi
