“Big Yellow Taxi“ is a song written and originally recorded by Joni Mitchell in song is known for its environmental concern — “They paved paradise to put up a parking lot“ and “Hey farmer, farmer, put away that DDT now“ — and sentimental sound. The line “They took all the trees, and put ’em in a tree museum / And charged the people a dollar and a half just to see ’em.“ refers to Foster Botanical Garden in downtown Honolulu, which is a living museum of tropical plants, some rare and endangered.
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 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
