Malvina Reynolds 'Little Boxes' 1967,



Love this woman!!

Yes Malvina Reynolds did record some memorable songs including 'The Money Crop' as well as your 'Little Boxes'.

Yes really on the death of art and the death of science ? And another good song is ;

I Fought the Law, 1960 The Crickets (by Sonny Curtis)

Below is one of the lyrics of several recorded versions,

I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
Now breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I lost my baby and it feels so bad
I guess my race is run
She was the best girl I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I miss my girl and the good fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I lost my baby and it feels so bad
I guess my race is run
She was the best girl I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
