Amy Grant – Big Yellow Taxi Lyrics  Share

From Amy Grant's album: House Of Love

(Joni Mitchell)

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
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop

They took all the trees and put ^,em in a tree museum
And then they charged all the poeple 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
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your 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 till it^,s gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
I say, they paved paradise and they 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 they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

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 they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Don^,t it always seem to go
That you don^,t know what you^,ve got till it^,s gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Oh, now, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Hey, steam rolled paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
