Big Yellow Taxi Lyrics By The Neighborhood

    the neighborhood
    miscellaneous
    big yellow taxi
    big yellow taxi
    the neighborhood
    peak position 9 on 8870
    this song was also a hit by joni mitchell peaking at
    4 on 575 it was a live version
    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
    and put them in a tree museum
    and they charged all the people
    a dollar and a half 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 they 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
    dont 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 lot from bill selma turner
