Big Yellow Taxi Songtext
von Bob Dylan

They pave paradise, they put up a parking lot
A pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot

Don′t it always go to show?
You never know what you got 'til it′s gone
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
(Chu, pa-pa, pa-pa chu pa-pa, pa-pa)

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

Don't it always go to show?
You never know what you got 'til it′s gone
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
(Chu, pa-pa, pa-pa chu pa-pa, pa-pa)


Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT
Give me spots on my Apples but leave e the birds and the bees, please

Don′t it always go to show?
You never know what you got 'til it′s gone
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
(Chu, pa-pa, pa-pa chu pa-pa, pa-pa)

Late last night I heard my screen door slam
A big yellow bulldozer took away the house and land

Don't it always go to show?
You never know what you got ′til it's gone
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot (chu, pa-pa, pa-pa)
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot (chu, pa-pa, pa-pa)
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot (chu, pa-pa, pa-pa)
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot (chu, pa-pa, pa-pa)
