| Reviews: |
| This song is awesome. Great melody, singing. It is so true. Creepy rhetoric about engineered society. Are you a member? | - grisgris |
| Facts: |
| The words and music are by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1962 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1990. (Dang) |
| Even though this song never made the top 40. This one holds the record for the shortest playing time of just over a minute. (pandy2) |

| Song Lyrics: |
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes all the same
There's the green one and the big one
And the blue one and the 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 get put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors, and there’s lawyers
And business executives
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
When they're all put in boxes
And they come out all the same
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same
