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 cleanin' up your room
Let's see the 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 you coat and hat
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
