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 there all made of ticky tacky,
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses,
All go to the University,
Where they were put in boxes,
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And 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 martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children,
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp,
And go to the University,
Where they're put in boxes,
And they all come out 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 all look just the same!
