Intro: Dm 2x

       D            D
Little boxes on the hillside
       D             D
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
       D            A
Little boxes on the hillside
       D              A
Little boxes just the same
          D               D
There's a green one and a pink one
      D              D
And a blue one and a yellow one
            D               A
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
         D                 Dm (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
