Little Boxes
Malvina Reynolds
Pete Seeger on Video
Banjo Tuned E, Capo 3, Key of A

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1962 Schroder 

Music Company, renewed 1990. Malvina and her husband were on their 

way from where they lived in Berkeley, through San Francisco and 

down the peninsula to La Honda where she was to sing at a meeting 

of the Friends' Committee on Legislation (not the PTA, as Pete 

Seeger says in the documentary about Malvina, "Love It Like a 

Fool"). As she drove through Daly City, she said "Bud, take the 

wheel. I feel a song coming on."******

  A                    D
Little boxes on the hillside,
                            A
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
                       D
Little boxes on the hillside,
                      A
Little boxes all the same.
          A               E
There's a green one and a pink one
     A               E
And a blue one and a yellow one,
      A                        D
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
     A               E      A
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,
And there's doctors and 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,
Where they are 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.
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
And they all look just the same.
