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'n'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

Laundromat

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, yakety yak...
