Take out the papers
and the trash
or you don't get
no spendin' cash
If you don't scrub
that kitchen floor
you ain't gonna
rock and roll no more
Yakety Yak
(don't talk back)
Just finish cleanin'
up your room
let's see that dust fly
with that broom
Get all that garbage
out of sight
or you don't go
out Friday night
Yakety Yak
(don't talk back)
You just put on
your coat and hat
and walk yourself
to the laundromat
And when
you finish doin' that
bring in the dog
and put out the cat
Yakety Yak
(don't talk back)
Don't you give me
no dirty looks
your father's hip
he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum
friends outside
you ain't got time
to take a ride
Yakety Yak
(don't talk back)
Yakety Yak
Yakety Yak
Yakety Yak
Yakety Yak
