Originally in G, I play in D
Vox on the 1, harmony ends up on the 5 on “trash”
| D | |
| Take out the papers and the | trash |
| G | |
| Or you don’t get no spending | cash |
| A | |
| If you don’t scrub that kitchen | floor |
Hard stop before this line, band back in on “more”
| D | |
| You ain’t gonna rock and roll no | more |
Another hard stop after “yak”
| D |
| Yakety yak, don’t talk back |
Band back in “room”
| D | |
| Just finish cleaning up your | room |
| G | |
| Let’s see that dust fly with that | broom |
| A | |
| Get all that garbage out of | sight |
| D | |
| Or you don’t go out Friday | night |
| D |
| Yakety yak, don’t talk back |
| D | |
| You just put on your coat and | hat |
| G | |
| And walk yourself to the laundry | mat |
| A | |
| And when you finish doing | that |
| D | |
| Bring in the dog and put out the | cat |
| D |
| Yakety yak, don’t talk back |
Solo, with a hard stop on the second I, both times
| D | G | A | D |
| x2 |
| D | |
| Don’t you give me no dirty | looks |
| G | |
| Your father’s hip, he knows what | cooks |
| A | |
| Just tell your hoodlum friends out | side |
| D | |
| You ain’t got time to take a | ride |
| D | |
| Yakety y | ak, don’t talk back |
| D | |
| Yakety yak, yakety ya | k |
| D | |
| Yakety yak, yakety ya | k |
| D | |
| Yakety yak, yakety ya | k |
| D | |
| Yakety yak, yakety ya | k |
