text: Late last night, I heard the screen door slam
  And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what youve got till its gone
  Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
  Paved paradise, 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
  Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
  Took all the trees, put them in a tree museum
  And they charged the people
  A dollar and a half just to seem em
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what youve got till its gone
  Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
  The big yellow taxi
  Hey farmer, farmer, put away that DDT now
  Give me spots on my apples
  But leave me the birds and the bees
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what youve got till its gone
  Paved paradise, put up a parking lot
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
  The big yellow taxi
