Big Yellow Taxi

In the style of

Joni Mitchell

Lyrics

they paved paradise
put up a parking lot
with a pink hotel
a boutique and
a swingin' hot spot

don't it always
seem to go
that you don't know
what you've got
till 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
till it's gone
they paved paradise
put up a parking lot

hey farmer farmer
put away that
ddt now
gimme 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
till 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
till 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
till 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
a-ha ha ha
ha ha
