E                             A             E
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
       E            B7               E             B7
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same.
          E
There's a green one, and a pink one,
      A               E
And a blue one, and a yellow one,
            E               B7
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky,
         E        B7       E
And they all look just the same.

        E                        A              E
And the people in the houses all went to the university,
      E                B7             E                B7
Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same.
            E
And there's doctors, and there's lawyers,
            A          E
And there's business executives,
            E               B7
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky,
         E        B7       E
And they all look just the same.

         E                               A                   E
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martini dry,

          E               B7               E              B7
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school,
        E
And the children go to summer camp,
    A              E
And then to the university,
           E              B7
Where they all are put in boxes,
         E        B7      E
And they come out all the same.

        E
And the boys go into business,
         A                 E
And they marry and raise a family,
   E             B7
In boxes made of ticky-tacky,
         E        B7       E
And they all look just the same.
