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
