Little boxes on the hillsides, little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky and they all look just 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 boxes, they go to the university
And they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the same
There's a doctor, and a lawyer, and a business executive
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky and they all turn out the same
And the men play on the golf course and they 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
Where they all get put in boxes and they all end up the same
And the boys go into business, marry and raise a family
And they all live in boxes, little boxes just 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 turn out the same
