Rigmor Gustafsson - 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'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 '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 the DDT
I don't care about 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
!
Now, listenin' last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
Now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got ´til its gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
!
