Lyric Big Yellow Taxi (Joni Mitchell cover)

(Joni Mitchell)

They paved paradise and 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 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 seem em
Don t it always seem to go
That you don t know what you ve got til it s gone ?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away that 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 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
Don t it always seem to go
That you don t know what you ve got til it s gone ?
They paved paradise and 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 and put up a parking lot

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
