Yakety Yak
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics

Take out the papers and the trash
Remove all the waste and garbage materials

Or you don't get no spending cash.
If you don't do this household chore, you won't receive your weekly allowance.

If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
If you don't clean the kitchen area properly

You ain't gonna rock and roll no more.
You'll lose the privilege of having fun and enjoying your youth.

Yakety yak. Don't talk back
Stop complaining and start working

Just finish cleanin' up your room
Finish the task of cleaning your room thoroughly

Let's see the dust fly with that broom
Use the broom to clean the dust from your room

Get all that garbage out of sight
Take all the rubbish and throw it away

Or you don't go out Friday night.
If you don't finish the chore, you won't be allowed to go out on Friday night.

You just put on you coast and hat
Put on your coat and hat

And walk yourself to the laundromat
Walk to the nearest laundromat

And when you finish doin' that
After you've finished with the laundry

Bring in the dog and put out the cat.
Bring the dog indoors and let the cat be outdoors

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Stop giving me dirty stares

Your father's stiff, he knows what cooks
Your father is strict and knows what's best for you

Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
Inform your criminal friend outside the house

You ain't got time to take a ride
You don't have the time to go with them.

Yakety Yak.Don't talk back.
Stop making excuses and do your chores

Yakety yak.Yakety yak.
Stop talking and start doing

Talkity talk.Talkity talk.
Stop chatting and work

Sqawkity sqwak.Sqawkity sqawk.
