Big Yellow Taxi — текст песни (Amy Grant)

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

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

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got till its gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop



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

And then they charged all the poeple twenty-five bucks just to see em

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got till its gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop



Hey farmer, farmer, put away your ddt now

Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got till its gone

They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

I say, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lot



Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got till its gone

They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop



Late last night I heard the screen door slam

And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got till its gone

They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop



Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got till its gone

They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Oh, now, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Hey, steam rolled paradise and put up a parking lot

Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
