LITTLE BOXES

Little boxes in the depots,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky;
Little boxes in the depots,
Little boxes all the same.

There's a red one, and a green one, and a blue one, and an ORANGE ONE;
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky,
And they all look just the same.

And the people move their houses,
And they build things of great complexity,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes all the same.

And there's half-heights, and there's open tops, and there's reefers and collapsibles,
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky,
And they all look just the same.

                                  

And they move them in the terminals,
And they move them on the autobahns
And they move them in the vessel cells
And they move them on the trains.

And they sometimes suffer damages
And are sent off to the refurbishers
And get fixed up with bits of ticky-tacky,
And come back looking just the same.

There's a red one, and a green one, and a blue one, and an ORANGE ONE;
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky,
And they all look just the same.
