Analysis on Little Boxes

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one                 5
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,                                 10
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky             15
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,                         20
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business                          25
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,                   30
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

This is "Little Boxes" written by Malvina Reynolds in 1962. She talks about the conformity of life in her time. Everyone who goes to college and "university" will become successful like everyone else. They all become "the same" such that they will all live in houses that look different in the outside, but will have television sets and washing machines. Back in the 1960s, a lot of families owned electronic appliances.

It is commonly said that only rich people play golf. Also, she mentions the professions doctors, lawyers, and business executives; all very successful people. Therefore, Malvina is probably trying to say that all all the people who come out of college are successful and they raise families. In line 19, Malvina said that they all have pretty children; they as in the business executives and the successful people. 

As the song finishes up, Malvina said that the boys go into business and marry and raise a family, notice that she said boys. She may be saying that only boys were successful. Maybe that was her view of society. In the end, she emphasizes that "they all look just the same."  She has said this line many times. She might be saying that all the successful people will live similar lives and their children will follow in their footsteps.
