Chorus:

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.



Yakety yak. Yakety yak.

Yakety yak. Yakety yak.

Talkity talkity talkity talk.

Sqawkity sqawk. Sqawkity sqawk.



You just put on you coast 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 father's stiff, 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!)
