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 rocking roll no more

(Yakety yak don't talk back)

Just finish cleaing 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 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
