Joni Mitchell, CC (born Roberta Joan Anderson; November 7, 1943) is a Canadian musician, singer songwriter, and painter. Mitchell began singing in small nightclubs in Saskatchewan and Western Canada and then busking in the streets and dives of Toronto. In 1965 she moved to the United States and, touring constantly, began to be recognized when her original songs ("Urge for Going," "Chelsea Morning," "Both Sides, Now," "The Circle Game") were covered by notable folk singers, allowing her to sign with Reprise Records and record her own debut album in 1968. Settling in Southern California, Mitchell and her popular songs like "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Woodstock" helped define an era and a generation.

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got

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 paved paradise
You don't know what you've got
They paved paradise
You don't know what you've got

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

They paved paradise
You don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise
You don't know what you've got

Hey, farmer farmer put away that D.D.T. now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees
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 paved paradise
You don't know what you've got
They paved paradise
You don't know what you've got

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

You don't know what you've got
The big yellow taxi
You don't know what you've got
The big yellow taxi took away my old man

You don't know what you've got
The big yellow taxi
You don't know what you've got
The big yellow taxi took away my old man

You don't know what you've got
