Lit-tle box-es on the hill-side, Lit-tle box-es made of tick-y tack-y,
Lit-tle box-es, lit-tle box-es, Lit-tle box-es all the same;
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yel-low one
And they're all made out of tick-y tack-y and they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses \par
All go to the university, \par
And they all get pulled in boxes, \par
Little boxes all the same. \par
And there's doctors and there's lawyers \par
And business executives, \par
And they're all made of ticky tacky, \par
And they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course, \par
And drink their Martini Dry, \par
And they all have pretty children, \par
And the children go to school. \par
And the children go to summer camp. \par
And then to the university, \par
And they all get pulled in boxes, \par
And they all come out the same.
