Yakety Yak 1958 The Coasters

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 rock and roll no more Yakety yak (don't talk back)

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)

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)

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)

(Repeat and fade:) Yakety yak, yakety yak
