Little Boxes (Beatnik version)
Woody Guthrie (after Malvina Reynolds)
See the beatniks in the Village
See the beatniks on MacDougal Street
See the beatniks in the Village
And they all look just the same.
There's a tall one and a short one
And a white one and a Negro one
And they all go to the Village
And they all look just the same.
And the boys all wear dungarees
And the girls all wear sandals
And they're all nonconformists
And they all dress just the same.
And they go to the university
And they major in philosophy
And they're all deep thinkers
And they all think just the same.
And they all read their Sartre
And they all read their Kierkegaard
And they all talk about it
And they all sound just the same.
And they all like folk music
and they dig Woody Guthrie
And just like Bob Dylan
They all sound the same.
