Little boxes made of ticky tacky

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
D MajorD DmDm (2x)
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
There's a doctor and a lawyer
And a business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
