      Little boxes on the hillside,<\/p>\n

      Little boxes all the same.<\/p>\n

      There’s a green one and a pink one<\/p>\n

      And a blue one and a yellow one,<\/p>\n

      And they’re all made out of ticky tacky<\/p>\n

      And they all look just the same.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      And the people in the houses<\/p>\n

      All went to the university,<\/p>\n

      Where they were put in boxes<\/p>\n

      And they came out all the same,<\/p>\n

      And there’s doctors and lawyers,<\/p>\n

      And business executives,<\/p>\n

      And they’re all made out of ticky tacky<\/p>\n

      And they all look just the same.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      And they all play on the golf course<\/p>\n

      And drink their martinis dry,<\/p>\n

      And they all have pretty children<\/p>\n

      And the children go to school,<\/p>\n

      And the children go to summer camp<\/p>\n

      Where they are put in boxes<\/p>\n

      And they come out all the same.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      And the boys go into business<\/p>\n

      And marry and raise a family<\/p>\n

      In boxes made of ticky tacky<\/p>\n

      And they all look just the same.<\/p>\n
