Letra de Mitchell, joni - big yellow taxi jam mix

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 and put up a parking lot

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

And they charged all 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 and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away that 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 and put up a parking lot

Late last night I heard the screen door slam

And a big yellow taxi took away my old man

Don´t it always seem to go

That you don´t know what you´ve got til 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 til it´s gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot (3x)
