Lyrics Big Yellow Taxi (extra track)

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 '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 to seem them.

Now, now, now
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 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've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Hey, now.

They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Why not?

Listen late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took my girl away.

Now, 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, now, now
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Why not?
They paved paradise
To put a parking lot
Hey, hey, hey
Paved paradise
To put up a parking lot...

I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it?
Why you wanna givin' it all away?
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
Ah, she wanna give it
'Cause she givin' it all away
Now, now, now
I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin' it all away?
'Cause you're givin' it all, givin' it all away
Yeah, yeah.

'Cause she givin' it all away
Hey, hey, hey...

They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot...

Paved paradise
Put up a parking lot.
