Big Yellow Taxi
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 Till it's gone They paved paradise And 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 And put up a parking lot Hey farmer farmer Put away that d.d.t. 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 Till 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 Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot60s 70s 70s college faves 70s high school faves acoustic amazing america Awesome ballads Canadian Cantautora childhood clasico classic rock clementine coffeehouse colors cool chicks covered more than my ex cute DAZS FAVOURITES development easy ecology environmental eriks favoriter fav favorite songs favorites Favourites female female vocal female vocalist female vocalists folk folk rock folk-rock golden oldies grand americana granola grrlie High School hippie hippy humanitarian i want to believe indie interesting joni joni mitchell joule joule teddy kids liked it listen to the lyrics loss lyrics makes me sing Mellow music for a party music for the revolution must must buy my 500 essential songs okay oldies oldies dont suck our parents folk rock perfect political pop Protest pwsm - color q magazine - 1001 greatest tun quiet Quiplash redcord Remember rock sad sing along singer-songwriter singer-songwriters sixties smile smooth stephan Surgery taxis things i like timeless top 2000 top song radio transportation Travisrecommends umanohonelike valentinesdaylove virgin2005top500 yellow Younger Days
