Lyrics

[00:22.820] Big Yellow Taxi
[00:25.660] Joni Mitchell
[00:29.020]
[00:32.120] They paved paradise
[00:33.550] And put up a parking lot
[00:37.300] With a pink hotel, a boutique
[00:39.960] And a swinging hot spot
[00:43.330] Don't it always seem to go
[00:45.710] And you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
[00:48.830] They paved paradise
[00:50.390] And put up a parking lot
[00:52.040]
[00:57.430] They took all the trees
[00:58.890] And put 'em in a tree museum
[01:02.650] And they charged the people
[01:04.350] A dollar and a half to seem them
[01:08.740] Don't it always seem to go,
[01:11.170] And you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
[01:14.220] They paved paradise
[01:15.760] And put up a parking lot
[01:17.350]
[01:22.780] Hey Farmer Farmer
[01:24.090] Put away your DDT
[01:28.100] I don't care about spots on my apples
[01:29.730] Leave me the birds and the bees
[01:32.580] Please!
[01:33.810] Don't it always seem to go
[01:36.240] And you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
[01:39.360] They paved paradise
[01:40.860] And put up a parking lot
[01:42.480]
[01:48.090] Listen late last night
[01:49.130] I heard the screen door slam
[01:53.100] And a big yellow taxi
[01:54.870] Took my girl away
[01:59.290] Now, don't it always seem to go
[02:01.800] That you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
[02:04.810] They paved paradise
[02:06.340] And put up a parking lot
[02:08.140]
[02:10.350] Hey now, now
[02:10.740] Don't it always seem to go
[02:13.300] That you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
[02:17.300] They paved paradise
[02:18.890] To put up a parking lot
[02:20.470]
[02:23.040] They paved paradise
[02:24.380] To put a parking lot
[02:25.900]
[02:28.580] Paved paradise
[02:29.950] Put up a parking lot
[02:31.850]
