 3  -3   2  1   3  -3   2    1
Lit-tle box-es  on the hill-side 
 3   3   4  4    4  -5  6  -5  5   5
Lit-tle box-es made of tick-y-tack-y 
 5  -3   3  3  3  -3   -2   -2
Lit-tle box-es on the hill-side 
-2   3   2  2   2  -2   -1
Lit-tle box-es all the same 
  3    -3   2    1   3 -3  2    1
There's a green one and a pink one  
 3  3  4    4   4 -5  6  -5   5
And a blue one and a yel-low one 
 5    -3     3   3    3  3   -2 -2  -2 -2
And they're all made out of tick-y tack-y 
-2    3   2    2    2  -1    1
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 lawyers, 
And 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 martinis 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 are put in boxes 
And they come out all the same. 

And the boys go into business 
And marry and raise a family 
In boxes made of ticky tacky  
And they all look just 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.
