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
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 lot
O tema original é de Joni Mitchell e apareceu no álbum de 1970 «Ladies of the Canyon», foi recorrentemente regravado por outros músicos, mas a versão mais conhecida é certamente a gravação de 2003 pela banda californiana Counting Crows com a participação de Vanessa Carlton. Essa versão, apesar de pobre, pode ser ouvida aqui.
Pois é o futuro é mesmo um parque de estacionamento.
