Martin Miller - Big Yellow Taxi

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 got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Oh, bop, bop, bop
Oh, bop, bop, bop

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half 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
Oh, bop, bop, bop

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

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

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

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
