Little Boxes (Malvina Reynolds)

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 alle 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
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 then to the university
where they 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.
