Big Yellow Taxi – by Joni Mitchell
They paved paradise and put up a parking lotWith a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot
They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museumAnd then they charged all the people twenty-five bucks just to see 'em
Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT nowGive me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please
Late last night I heard the screen door slamAnd a big yellow taxi carried off my old man
Chorus:Don't it always seem to goThat you don't know what you've got ‘til it's goneThey paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop
Oh, now, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lotShoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Hey, steam rolled paradise and put up a parking lotShoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
