Little boxes on the hillsideLittle boxes made of ticky tackyLittle boxes Little boxesLittle boxes all the sameThere’s a green one and a pink oneAnd a blue one and a yellow oneAnd they’re all made out of ticky tackyAnd they all look just the same
And the people in the houses all go to the universityAnd they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the sameAnd there’s doctors and there’s lawyersAnd business executivesAnd they’re all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martini dryAnd they all have pretty children and the children go to schoolAnd the children go to summer campAnd then to the universityAnd they all get put in boxes, and they all come out the same
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a familyAnd they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the sameThere’s a green one, and a pink oneAnd a blue one and a yellow one And they’re all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same…
