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 boogaloo no more.
Yakety yak. Don't talk back
Just finish cleanin' up your room
Let's see some 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 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.
Chorus
Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your Daddy's hip, he knows what cooks
Just tell your long-haired hippie friends outside
You ain't got time to take no ride
Yakety Yak.Don't talk back.
Yakety Yak.Yakety Yak.
Yakety Yakety Yakety Yak
Yakety Yak.Yakety Yak.
Yak Yak Yak Yak Yak
Yakety Yak.
Or you don't get no spending cash.
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna boogaloo no more.
Yakety yak. Don't talk back
Just finish cleanin' up your room
Let's see some 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 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.
Chorus
Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your Daddy's hip, he knows what cooks
Just tell your long-haired hippie friends outside
You ain't got time to take no ride
Yakety Yak.Don't talk back.
Yakety Yak.Yakety Yak.
Yakety Yakety Yakety Yak
Yakety Yak.Yakety Yak.
Yak Yak Yak Yak Yak
Yakety Yak.
