C C C C F F C C
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky
C C G7 G7 C C G7 G7
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
C C C C
There's a green one,and a pink one,
F F C C
and a blue one,and a yellow one
C C C C
And they're all made out of
G7 G7 G7 G7
ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same



C C C C F F C C
And the people in the houses, all went to the uni-versity
C C G7 G7 C C G7 G7
Where they were put in boxes, and they came out all the same
C C C C
And there's doctors, and there's lawyers,
F F C C
and business ex-ecutives
C C C C
And they're all made out of
G7 G7 G7 G7
ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same



C C C C
And they all play on the golf course,
F F C C
and drink their mar-tinis dry
C C G7 G7
And they all have pretty children,
C C G7 G7
and the children go to school
C C C C F F C C
And the children go to summer camp, and then to the uni-versity
C C G7 G7 G7 G7 C C
Where they are put in boxes, and they come out all the same



C C C C F F C C
And the boys go into business, and marry and raise a family
C C G7 G7 C C G7 G7
In boxes made of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same
C C C C
There's a green one, and a pink one,
F F C C
and a blue one, and a yellow one
C C C C
And they're all made out of
G7 G7 G7 G7
ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same
