Big Yellow Taxi (Joni Mitchell cover) — текст песни (Keren Ann)

(Joni Mitchell)

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 them in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to seem `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

I said
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
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
