Big Yellow Taxi Lyrics by Tutu Puoane

We Have a Dream

0

[Verse 1]
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to seem them
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Farmer farmer, put away the DDT, now
Give me spots on my apples
Now 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 its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
[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 its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
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
