YAKETY YAK
written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller
performed by the Coasters
tab transcribed by Collins Crapo

N/C                         G
Take out the papers and the trash
                             C
Or you don't get no spendin' cash
                                D
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
                                 G
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more
           N/C
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Verse 2:
Just finish cleanin' up your room
And sweep the dust out with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Verse 3:
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)

(instrumental, same pattern as verses)

Verse 4:
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)

(instrumental, same pattern as verses, fading out)
