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 friend outside

You ain't got time to take a ride

Yakety yak (Don't talk back)



Yakety yak, yakety yak

Yakety yak, yakety yak

Yakety yak, yakety yak



Yakety yak, yakety yak
