Текст песни 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
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
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
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
Don t it always seem to go
That you don t know what you ve got till it s gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
I say, they paved paradise and they 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 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
Don t it always seem to go
That you don t know what you ve got till it s gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Don t it always seem to go
That you don t know what you ve got till it s 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
