Big Yellow Taxi

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot With a pink hotel,
a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That
you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise and
put up a parking lot Ooooh, bop bop bop Ooooh,
bop bop bop They took all the trees,

and put them in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar
and a half to see them No, no,

it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot Ooooh,
bop bop bop Ooooh, bop bop bop Hey farmer, farmer,

my apples Leave me the birds and the bees Please
