Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi (2007) Lyrics
Artist: Joni Mitchell
Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Rock
- Songwriters: Joni Mitchell
So they paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging night spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you 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 all the people
An arm and a leg just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
Hey, farmer
Put away your DDT
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and bees please
Don't it always seem to go
You don't know what you 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 come
And took away my old man
Oh, don't it always seem to go
You don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
They put up a parking lot
Parking lot
They paved paradise
In the Know
