Little boxes on the hillside, 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.And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,
And there’s doctors and there’s lawyers, and business executives
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky 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
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 and marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

Kenny and Lira
Coldplay – Yellow & Viva La Vida Remix
Both
They’re both the youngest in their family
They both play violin and they play piano
They both work on 42nd street
They both have blackberries
And watch American Idol
*They both love the movie White Chicks
They both love to eat at Benihana
They both love to go to the zoo
They love each other too
They both wear glasses or contacts
They’re bringing fishing back and they love to snowboard
They both learned how to scuba dive
Saw Britney spears live, and Madonna
*They both love their dog Taylor
They’ve traveled to Africa, France , Italy together
They both want a a big fish tank…
And a house with a pool…
Viva La Kenny and Lira!
And let’s go back to when they met
They met on a ski trip… in Vermont , On Feb. 6, 2004
She’s from New Jersey , He’s from LA (Waaaaddup!)
She’s an Aries, and He’s a Virgo, now you know
She’s a pharmacist, and He’s an I-banker
She likes shopping and He likes golf & ESPN
*She’s left handed, He’s right handed
She loves sushi and He loves Kalbi Jim
Sometimes she snorts, when she laughs
He likes to flare his nostrils, when he laughs
She loves champagne, he loves light beer
And five years after they met, we’re here
To celebrate, Kenny and Lira, with shots and cheers
She likes Club Cain, and he likes Club Nikkis
She likes recording music, and he likes pong-tigis
She likes Italian Icees, He’s like what the Pho
She likes chocolate, she’s the aisle seats and he’s window
*And on May 8, 2008,
He popped the question in Maui ,
She said “Of course!”
And that’s how we
All got together today,
Shall we
Party all night til the break of dawn
Kenny and Lira Congratulations…
And now its time to make babies… Ohhhhhhhh!
