And walk your set to the laundromat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
Just tell your hoodlum friends I died,
you ain't got time to take a ride
Just tell your hoodlum friends outside,
you ain't got time to take a ride
Just tell your huddle of friends outside,
You ain't got time to take a ride
Just tell your hoodlum friends outside,
You ain't got time to take a ride
Take out the papers and the trash
or you don't get no friendly cash
Take out the papers and the trash
or you don't get no spending cash
Editor's note: The correct spelling of the song title is "Yakety Yak", not "Yakkity Yak" or any other variants.
Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no Sunday cash
Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spending cash
Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no sodding cash
Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spending cash
Take out the people and the trash
Take out the papers and the trash
