Big Yellow Taxi (Traffic Jam Mix) — 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 'em in a tree museum And they charged all 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 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

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 (3x)
