LITTLE BOXES   Time: 3/4   Tenor: C   Bass: C

INTRO: 1,  57,  1

      

       1            *                4             1

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

       1            57               1             57

Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same

          1                *               4               1

There's a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one, and a yellow one

            1               57                    *                 1

And they're all made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same

        1             *           4               1

And the people in the houses, all went to the uni-versity

      1                57              1                57

Where they were put in boxes, and they came out all the same

            1                    *            4           1

And there's doctors, and there's lawyers, and business ex-ecutives

            1               57                    *                 1

And they're all made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same

         1               *                4               1

And they all play on the golf course, and drink their mar-tinis dry

         1               57                1              57

And they all have pretty children, and the children go to school

        1              *                4               1

And the children go to summer camp, and then to the uni-versity

      1               57              *                1

Where they are put in boxes, and they come out all the same

        1            *             4                 1

And the boys go into business, and marry and raise a family

   1             57                    1                 57

In boxes made of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same

          1                *               4               1

There's a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one, and a yellow one

            1               57                    *                 1

And they're all made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same
