Big Yellow Taxi
Joni Mitchell - Ladies of the Canyon
they paved paradiseput 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
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
hey farmer, farmer
put away that ddt now
give me spots on my apples
or 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
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
i said
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
they paved paradise
put up a parking lot
they paved paradise
put up a parking lot
