Big Yellow Taxi (Triple J Like A Version) – Allday (feat. The Veronicas)
By
[The Veronicas:] They paved paradise and put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
[The Veronicas & Allday:] 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 (Oooo-bop-bop-bop Oooo-bop-bop-bop)
[The Veronicas:] They took all the trees, put ’em in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
[The Veronicas & Allday:] 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 (Oooo-bop-bop-bop Oooo-bop-bop-bop)
[Allday:] Well I went down the coast but there’s no coral reef ‘Cause Adani stole the coal so all the corals bleached So I went to the city but I don’t wanna breath Cause the smog in the air just makes me cough and wheeze Going stir crazy like Milo, high as trees until it drops me Thought I had depression but I just needed a coffee And the Amazon’s dying but we got Amazon Prime Too busy to be angry so they carry on lying Well there’s a plastic island in our ocean that I heard about We got to turn around this shit before it burns us out We focus on our differences but we should kill the billionaires Invest in local businesses, grow potatoes, spinachs Might need my head checked, might need McAfee Grew up on some poison, they called it McHappy I guess you don’t don’t know what you got till it’s packing And it speeds down the road in a big yellow taxi

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (Oooo-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 (Oooo-bop-bop-bop) They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (Oooo-bop-bop-bop) They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (Oooo-bop-bop-bop) (Oooo-bop-bop-bop)
