little boxes on the hillside
little boxes made of ticky tacky
little boxes
little boxes
little boxes all the same
there’s a green one and a pink one
and a blue one and a yellow one
and they’re all made out of ticky tacky
and they all look just the same
and the people in the houses all went to the university
and they all get put in boxes little boxes all the same
and there’s doctors and there’s lawyers
and business executives
and they all get put in boxes and they all come out the same
and they all play on the golf course and drink their martini dry
and they all have pretty children and the children go to school
and the children go to summer camp
and then to the university
and they all get put in boxes and they all come out the same
and the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
and they all get put in boxes little boxes all the same
there’s a green one and a pink one
and a blue one and a yellow one
and they’re all made out of ticky tacky
and they all look just the same
