Artist/Band: Joni Mitchell
Lyrics for Song: Big Yellow Taxi
Lyrics for Album: Dreamland: The Very Best Of Joni Mitchell [2004]



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

Then 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

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 its gone

They paved paradise

And 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

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
