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 cleaning up your room
Let's see that 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 laundry mat
And when you're finished doing that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
(Yakety yak don't talk back)

Don't you give me no dirty look
Your father's hip, he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friends 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
Yakety yak yakety yak
