Yakety Yak
The Hit Crew Lyrics

Take out the papers and the trash
Don't touch that phone when it rings. You're under restriction 'till your room is cleaned. It'll take away your spending cash. You better have it cleaned, quick and fast.

Or you don't get no spendin' cash
If you don't get your room cleaned, you won't have any money to spend.

You better wax that kitchen flo'
Dust the furniture, have the floor waxed. It gotta be spotless from front to back.

Or you ain't rock 'n rollin' no mo'!
If you don't clean up, you can't have any fun.

Yakety Yak! (Don't talk back!)
Don't you roll yo' eyes at me, boy!

Ha haaa!
N/A

Just finish cleanin' up your room
This house is dirty, it's a total mess. No need to be rude, so don't get dressed. There's a lot of things that have to be done. If you don't, then you have no fun.

Let's see that dust fly with that broom
Clean everything in one go and do it quickly.

Get all that garbage out of sight
Don't have any garbage lying around, make sure everything's clean.

Or you don't go out Friday night
If you don't get your room cleaned, you're not going out.

Yakety Yak! (Don't talk back!)
Don't you give me no dirty looks. Your father's stiff, he knows what cooks.

Don't you roll yo' eyes at me, boy!
What you say to me boy?

This house is dirty, it's a total mess
There's a lot of cleaning that needs to be done around the house.

No need to be rude, so don't get dressed
Instead of being rude, you should be cleaning up the house.

There's a lot of things that have to be done
There's cleaning, laundry, and taking care of pets that needs to be done around the house.

If you don't, then you have no fun
If you don't get your chores done, you won't be able to go out and have fun.

Now pack the basket with those dirty clothes
Gather up all the dirty clothes in a basket.

And go to the laundromat before it closes
Take the dirty clothes to the laundromat before it closes.

There's no need to pout or frown around, so
Instead of being upset or angry, you should just do your chores.

You just put on your coat and hat
Get dressed and ready to go to the laundromat.

And walk yourself to the laundry-mat
Walk to the laundromat, don't ask for a ride.

And when you're finished doing that
Once you're done at the laundromat.

Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Make sure the pets are taken care of when you get home.

Don't talk back!
Do what you're told without complaining or arguing.

Behind your dad's back, you roll your eyes
You're being disrespectful to your dad when he's not around.

Always plottin' and schemin' and plannin' lies
You're always up to no good, trying to get away with things you shouldn't be doing.

But you're always doin' things to make him mad
Your behavior is causing trouble and making your dad upset.

Instead of doin' right for good old dad
Instead of behaving and doing what you're supposed to do for your dad.

So tell your friend you're not hangin' out
Don't go out with your friends, stay home and do your chores.

Just do as I say, 'cause I'm the man of the house
Listen to your dad and do what he says, because he's in charge.

You better act like you got some sense
Be responsible and mature in your behavior.

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Don't look at me with disrespect or attitude.

Your father's stiff, he knows what cooks
Your dad is strict, but he knows what he's doing and what's best for the family.

Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
Let your friend know that you can't hang out with him right now.

You ain't got time to take a ride
You have chores to do, so you can't hang out with your friend.
