Little Boxes
[Verse 1]
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes, little boxes
Little boxes all the same

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
And the people in the houses
All went to the university
And they all get put in boxes
Little boxes all the same

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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

[Verse 7]
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
And they all get put in boxes
Little boxes all the same

[Verse 8]
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
