Little Boxes

Who else sings this "ticky-tacky" song? I know Malvina Reynolds sings it, but
the version I heard was a guy, and there was an audience laughing too.

I first heard it during a Pete Seeger concert when I was a little girl... if I
remember correctly my parent's had a recording of him singing it with audience
reaction in the background.

Here are lyrics for anyone interested.

Little Boxes

Little boxes on the hill side, little boxes made of ticky tacky.
Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all 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.

And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes, little boxes, all the same.
And there's doctors and there's lawyers,
and there's 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 martini 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 all get put in boxes and they all come out the same.

And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes, little boxes, little boxes all 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.

Pete Seeger wrote and sang it back in the sixties.
