Little boxes on
\n the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky
\n tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There’s a green one
\n and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow
\n one,
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.<\/p>\n

And the people in the houses
All went to the
\n university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there’s
\n doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky
And
\n they all look just the same.<\/p>\n

And they
\n all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis
\n dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children
\n go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out
\n all the same.<\/p>\n

And the boys go into
\n business
And marry and raise a family
In
\n boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the
\n same.
There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they’re
\n all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just
\n the same.

A footnote at the bottom says, “The term “ticky tacky” is
\n now included in the Oxford English Dictionary, and credited to
\n Malvina.”<\/p>\n
