Yakety Yak Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, here he is, Ray Stevens

Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spendin' 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 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)

Ow, watch out
Ow, yeah
(Yakety yak)
(Yakety yak)
(Yakety yak)
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 yak)
Yakety, yakety, yakety yak (Yakety yak)
Yakety yak, yakety yak (Yakety yak)
Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yakety yak
(Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak)
Hey
Oh

Thank you
Thank you very much

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
