Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes on the hillside, 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 uni-versity
Where they all were put in boxes, and they came out all the same
And there's doctors, and there's lawyers, and business ex-ecutives
And 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 mar-tinis dry
And they all have pretty children, and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp, and then to the uni-versity
Where they all are put in boxes, and they come out all the same
And the boys go into business, and marry and raise a family
In 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
