Karaoké Big Yellow Taxi Amy Grant

They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know

What you've got 'till it's gone they paved Paradise and put up a parking lot

They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum

And then they charged all the people

Twenty-five bucks just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone

They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer put away your DDT now

Giving me spots on my apples but leave me the birds

And the bees please don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone

They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot

I say 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 'till it's gone

They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot

Late last night

I heard the screen door slam

And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'till it's 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 'till it's gone

They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot

Oh no and they paved Paradise and put up a parking lot

They steamrolled Paradise and put up a parking lot
