[Verse 1]
Little bGoxes on the hillside, little bCoxes made of tGicky-tacky
Little Bmboxes on the Amhillside, little Gboxes all the Dsame
There's a piGnk one, and a green one, and a blCue one, and a yGellow one
And they're Bmall made out of tAmicky-tacky, and they Gall look jD7ust the sGame
[Verse 2]
And the peGople in the houses, all wCent to the univGersity
Where they Bmwere put in Amboxes, and they cGame out all the sDame
And there's dGoctors, and there's lawyers, and buCsiness exeGcutives
And they're Bmall made out of tAmicky-tacky, and they Gall look jD7ust the sGame
[Verse 3]
And they aGll play on the golf course, and drCink their martGinis dry
And they Bmall have pretty chAmildren, and the chGildren go to schoDol
And the chGildren go to summer camp, and tChen to the uniGversity
Where they Bmall are put in bAmoxes, and they cGome out D7all the sGame
[Verse 4]
Boys go iGnto business, and Cmarry and raise a Gfamily
In bBmoxes made of tAmicky-tacky, and they aGll look just the sDame
There's a piGnk one, and a green one, and a blCue one, and a yGellow one
And they're Bmall made out of tiAmcky-tacky, and they Gall look jD7ust the sGame
