Malvina Reynolds', "Little Boxes"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
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.
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
Why They're Nonsensical:
There is nothing in the rest of the song to suggest that it could be about the perceptions of a color-blind person. And the seemingly jovial overall tone of the song seems not at all consistent with such a possibility. Nonetheless these two lines could make sense only from the point of view of a color-blind person who had been informed by someone else of the boxes' colors.
