[Intro]
Your psychedelic vibration
Are hangin' up the operation
I know you groovy with the ladies
But your housework really ain't the greatest
[Chorus]
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 'n' roll no more
Yakety yak (Don't talk back)
[Verse 1]
Just finish cleanin' up your room
And sweep that dust out with the broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you and me gonna get uptight
Yakety yak (Don't talk back)
[Verse 2]
You just put on your coat and hat
And march 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)
[Instrumental Break]
*Backwards music*
[Verse 3]
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 takе a ride
Yakety yak (Don't talk back)
[Outro]
Yakety yak, yakеty yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak (Don't talk back)
Yakety yak, yakety yak (Don't talk back)
Yakety yak, yakety yak (Aw, shaddup)
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak (Don't talk back)
