Take out those papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spending cash
If you don't sweep that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna rock 'n' roll no more

Yakity yak
Don't talk back

Just finish cleaning up your room
Let's see that dustpan with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night

Yakity 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

Yakity 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 friends outside
You ain't got time to take a ride
Yakity yak
Don't talk back

Yakity yak, yakity yak
Yakity yak, yakity yak
Yakity yak, yakity yak
