Lyrics
LITTLE BOXES

VS. 1
WE LIVE IN LITTLE BOXES UP AND DOWN OUR STREET
WE PUT IN FORTY HOURS, GET OUT THERE AND COMPETE
WORKIN' NINE TO FIVE, AND WHEN THE 1ST ARRIVES
I MAKE A MONTHLY PAYMENT, SO THIS LITTLE BOX STAYS MINE
CHORUS
SOME SAY I'M TOO CAREFUL, NOT ONE TO TAKE A CHANCE
ALWAYS ON THE SAFE SIDE, MISSIN' OUT ON THE DANCE
I LOVE THIS LITTLE BOX, AND SOON THIS HEAVY DEBT
WILL FINALLY BE OVER, AT THIS LITTLE BOX ADDRESS
VS. 2
ALL THE PEOPLE THANK ME ON THIS CITY BLOCK
FOR PLANTING PRETTY FLOWERS, ALONG MY SIDEWALK
WE GET A YEARLY BILLING, FROM OUR H.O.A.
UPTIGHT REGULATIONS, THEY ASK US TO OBEY
CHORUS
SOME SAY I'M TOO CAREFUL, NOT ONE TO TAKE A CHANCE
ALWAYS ON THE SAFE SIDE, MISSIN' OUT ON THE DANCE
I LOVE THIS LITTLE BOX, AND SOON THIS HEAVY DEBT
WILL FINALLY BE OVER, AT THIS LITTLE BOX ADDRESS
BRIDGE
MAKIN' SURE I'M ON TIME, I PUT MYSELF IN GEAR
TRYIN' TO SET MY SIGHTS FOR "EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR"
THEY'LL SIGN THOSE PAPERS OVER AND HAND ME THE DEED
BUT STILL THERE'S THAT STUDENT LOAN FROM NINETEEN NINETY THREE
I LOVE THIS LITTLE BOX, AND SOON THIS HEAVY DEBT
WILL FINALLY BE OVER AT THIS LITTLE BOX ADDRESS
LITTLE BOX, LITTLE BOX, I LOVE MY LITTLE BOX
LITTLE BOX, LITTLE BOX, I LOVE MY LITTLE BOX
