Lyrics & Info About the Song Little Boxes Little boxes on a hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes just the same There’s a pink one, and a green 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 And the people in the houses learn their trade Cause they were put in boxes and they came out all the same Therere white hats and red hats and they imagine they are businessmen And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same And they all go to the theater where they drink their pennies need And they all have pretty children and they send them off to school They raise them and love them and send them to university Where they are put in boxes and they all come out the same ---- A variation of Little Boxes appears in the 2014 film The Boxtrolls Little Boxes is a protest song written and composed by Malvina Reynolds in 1962, which became a hit for her friend Pete Seeger in 1963.
