Big Yellow Taxi

(album: Home Protests - 2020)

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 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

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

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

Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT now
Give 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 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Late last night, I heard they arrested man
But they couldn't stop the pebbles from gluing themselves to the [?]

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

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
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
