Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all 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

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 there's lawyers and business ex-ecutives
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 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

You kinda lost the feel of the message of the song though. Just my opinion.
