Description from Px3 aka Peggy: Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes, little boxes
And they all look just the same..
Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it sung by Pete Seeger. Every time I see a row of matching houses, this song pops into my head. It was written by Malvina Reynolds.

CAS says:Oh! I love that song too! Of course, with your pick anything made wouldn’t be the least bit “ticky tacky”.
