The name is actually "Big Yellow Taxi"
by Joni Mitchell
BIG YELLOW TAXI
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 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 nightI 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 paradiseAnd put up a parking lot.

In the Amy Grant version, it was 25 bucks! That's inflation for you.
