Little boxes, very narrow
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes, little boxes
Little boxes all the same
There's red ones, violet ones
And green ones, so chic
They're all made of ticky-tacky
They're all, all the same
And those folks in their boxes
We put them all in boxes
Little boxes all the same
There's doctors, dentists
Businessmen and lawyers
They're all, all made of ticky-tacky
They're all, all, all the same
And they knock back martinis
Play golf all afternoon
Then they make pretty kids
Who all, all go to school
Those kids go on vacation
Then head off to university
We put them all in boxes
And they come out all the same
The boys go into business
And become dads
They build brand-new boxes
Little boxes all the same
Then they settle all their affairs
And move on to cemeteries
In boxes made of ticky-tacky
That're all, all the same
