Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi
They paved paradise,
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel,
a boutique,
and a swinging hot spot.
CHORUS:
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone.
They paved paradise,
And put up a parking lot.
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum, and they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em.
CHORUS:
Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone.
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot.
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!
CHORUS:
Dont it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone, They paved paradise
and put up a parking lot.
Late last night I heard the screen door slam, and a big
yellow taxi took away my old man.
CHORUS:
Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone, They paved paradise, And put up a parking lot.
They paved paradise,
And put up a parking lot.
