Big Yellow Taxi Lyrics by Scary Pockets

2023

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
They paved paradise
Put up a 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 got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-bop-bop-bop-bop
Ooh-bop-bop-bop-bop
Ooh-bop-bop-bop-bop
Ooh-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 got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-bop-bop-bop-bop
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Ooh-bop-bop-bop-bop
Ooh-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[Verse 3]
Hey farmer, farmer
Put away that DDT now (Hey)
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 got 'til it's gone?
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
[Keyboard Solo]
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 4]
Late last night
I heard thе screen door slam (Where are you goin', baby?)
And a big yеllow taxi
Took away my old man
[Chorus]
But don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?
(Don't know what you got 'til it's gone)
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-bop-bop-bop-bop
Ooh-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[Outro]
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
