Little boxes by the waterside
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes by the waterside
Little boxes all the same.

There's a pink one and a blue one
And a green one and a 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 go to their little businesses
Where they all sell goods & services
And it all turns out the same

And there's always land-developers
And dealers in real estate
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And they all look down their noses
At non water-dwelling residents
And they all have plastic gardens
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
Chauffeured to private schools.

Then the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they all get put in boxes
And they all come out the same.

Then they all go into business
And marry and raise a family
And they all build little boxes
On the waters, just the same.

There's a pink one and a blue one
And a green one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
