YAKETY YAK
The Coasters - 1958


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 Laundromat 
And when you finish doing 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) 

Yakety yak, Yakety yak 
Yakety yak, Yakety yak 
Yakety yak, Yakety yak 

FADE 
Yakety yak, Yakety yak
