San Francisco Has Lots of Little Boxes on Its Hillsides, Doesn’t It?

Click to expand:

Little boxes on the hillside,
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.

Wasn’t this song about Daly City?

Yes, but this is close enough I think.

I love you, in a completely platonic way, for posting this song’s lyrics.

You are totally right. It works. Sorry to second guess you. Keep up the good work.
