     G                           C              G  
Little boxes on a hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky 
       G                             D 
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes just the same 
          G                                C               G  
Thereâ??s a pink one, and a green one, and a blue one, and a yellow one  
          G                                       D                 G 
And theyâ??re all made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same 


       G                      C              G  
And the people in the houses learn their trade 
       G                            D 
Cause they were put in boxes and they came out all the same 
          G                               C               G  
There're white hats and red hats and they imagine they are businessmen  
          G                                     D                 G 
And theyâ??re all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same 

       G                      C              G  
And they all go to the theater where they drink their pennies need 
       G                                D 
And they all have pretty children and they send them off to school 
          G                       C               G  
They raise them and love them and send them to university 
          G                            D                 G 
Where they are put in boxes and they all come out the same
