ASFALTARAM TUDO E PINTARAM DE CINZA

BIG YELLOW TAXI – GRANDE TAXI AMARELO

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' 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 (Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop) They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum And they charged 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 (Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop) Hey farmer, farmer, put away the 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, put up a parking lot (Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop) 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 (Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop) They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop) They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
