    Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell criticizes urban development that destroys natural environments. The song describes how a paradise setting was paved over to make way for a parking lot, hotel, and other man-made structures. Through repetitive choruses, Mitchell drives home the message that we often don't realize what we have until it's gone, like the natural paradise that was destroyed. The lyrics lament how trees were cut down and put in a museum instead of left growing freely in their natural habitat.
