I felt inspired to do a little baritone uke cover of "Big Yellow Taxi" and it turned out sadder than I expected, but I'm ok with that. This is one of my favorite Joni Mitchell compositions...maybe the first song of hers that I ever heard. She really is an insanely good songwriter.

LYRICS

Pave paradise, put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
Pave paradise, put up a parking lot
They pave paradise, put up a parking lot

They took all the trees, 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, ​put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, ​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
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
