Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi [Traffic Jam Mix]

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)
