Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all 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
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 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.

山坡上的小盒子，用廉价材料做的小盒子。
山坡上的小盒子，一模一样的小盒子，
有绿，有红，有蓝，有黄，
它们全都用廉价材料制成，
看上去一个样子。
这些盒子里的人，全都读大学，
结果还是一样，在大学，他们住在盒子里。
有的当医生，有的当律师，有的当董事，
他们都用廉价材料制成，看上去一个样子。
他们都打高尔夫球，喝无果味马丁尼酒。
他们都有可爱的孩子，
孩子们上学，孩子们去夏令营，然后进大学，
结果还是一样，在大学，他们住在盒子里。
小伙子跨入商界， 结婚成家立业，
住在用廉价材料制成的盒子里，看上去一个样子。
