Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've
They paved paradise, 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, put up a parking lot (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Hey farmer, farmer, put away that D.D.T. 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, put up a parking lot (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
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, put up a parking lot (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Paved paradise, put up a parking lot (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Oooh bop bop bop bop
Oooh bop bop bop bop
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got (oooh bop bop bop bop)
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got
Don't know what you've, don't know what you've got (big yellow taxi, oooh bop bop bop bop)
Big yellow taxi
Big yellow taxi
Big yellow taxi
Oooh bop bop bop bop
Big yellow taxi...
- I wanna start with a song that means a lot to me this time of year.
I made a man with eyes of coal
And a smile so bewitchin'
How was I supposed to know
That my mom was dead in the kitchen?
La, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
My mother's ashes
Even her eyelashes
Are resting in a little yellow jar
And sometimes when it's breezy
Or if I'm feeling sneezy
And now...
- Excuse me, excuse me! Yeah, noisy boys!
