Take out the papers and the trash

Or you don't get no spending 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 cleaning 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 laundry mat

And when you finish doing 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

Yakety yak
