Big Yellow Taxi:
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, put up a parking lot

(Choo... bop bop bop bop, choo... bop bop bop bop)

They took all the trees and 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

(Choo... bop bop bop bop, choo... bop bop bop bop)

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, put up a parking lot

(Choo... bop bop bop bop, choo... 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

(Choo... bop bop bop bop)

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 (Choo... bop bop bop bop)

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (Choo... bop bop bop bop)

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
