Big Yellow Taxi — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot

A pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot

Dont it always go to show

You never know what you got till its gone ?

They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.



They took all the trees, they put them in a tree museum

They charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them

Dont it always go to show

You never know what you got till its gone ?

They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.



Hey farmer, farmer, put away that d.d.t

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

Dont it always go to show

You never know what you got till its gone ?

They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.



Late last night I heard my screen door slam

A big yellow buldozer took away the house and land

Dont it always go to show

You never know what you got till its gone ?

They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.
