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 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 and
they came out 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 are put in boxes, And
they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business, And they marry
and raise a family, In boxes made of
ticky-tacky, And they all look just the same.
