{c:verse 1}
Little [A]boxes on the hillside,
Little [D]boxes made of [A]ticky-tacky,
Little boxes on the [E7]hillside,
Little [A]boxes all the [E7]same.
There's a [A]green one and a pink one
And a [D]blue one and a [A]yellow one,
And they're all made out of [E7]ticky-tacky
And they [A]all look [E7]just the [A]same.
{c:verse 2}
And the [A]people in the houses
All [D]went to the uni-[A]versity,
Where they were put in [E7]boxes
And they [A]came out all the [E7]same,
And there's [A]doctors and lawyers,
And [D]business ex-[A]ecutives,
And they're all made out of [E7]ticky tacky
And they [A]all look [E7]just the [A]same.
{c:verse 3}
And they [A]all play on the golf course
And [D]drink their mar-[A]tinis dry,
And they all have pretty [E7]children
And the [A]children go to [E7]school,
And the [A]children go to summer camp
And [D]then to the uni-[A]versity,
Where they are put in [E7]boxes
And they [A]come out [E7]all the [A]same.
{c:verse 4}
And the [A]boys go into business
And [D]raise a [A]family
In boxes made of [E7]ticky-tacky
And they [A]all look just the [E7]same.
There's a [A]green one and a pink one
And a [D]blue one and a [A]yellow one,
And they're all made out of [E7]ticky tacky
And they [A]all look [E7]just the [A]same.
