Lyrics:

'Big Yellow Taxi (Paradise Mix)'

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
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

I say, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop 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


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
