Big Yellow Taxi (feat. Vanessa Carlton)

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 got 'til it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Ooh, bop, bop, bop Ooh, bop, bop, bop They took all the trees, and put 'em in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them No, no, no 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 Ooh, bop, bop, bop Ooh, bop, bop, bop Hey, farmer, farmer, put away your DDT I don't care about spots on my apples Leave me the birds and the bees Please 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 Hey, now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot Ooh, bop, bop, bop Why not?
