Big Yellow Taxi Lyrics by Michael & Jello

Just Dance

2013

[Verse 1]
They paved paradise, put up the parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin' hot spot
[Chorus]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up the parking lot
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[Verse 2]
They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em
[Chorus]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up the parking lot
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[Verse 3]
Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees, please
[Chorus]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[Verse 4]
Late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
[Chorus]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[Chorus]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
I said they paved paradise, put up the parking lot
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
