Little boxes on the hill side, 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
Where they were put in boxes, little boxes, all the same
And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and there's business
executives
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 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 come out the same
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In 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

years, and this is one of her best
