Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spendin' cash
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Just finish cleanin' up your room
Let's see that dust fly with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin' that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety 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 friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak

APRIL, KATHY, MARTA:
Doo-doo-doo-doo!
Doo-doo-doo-doo!
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

You could drive a person crazy,
You could drive a person mad.
Do-do-do-doo!
First you make a person hazy,
So a person could be had.
Do-do-do-doo!
Then you leave a person dangling, sadly,
Outside your door,
Which could only make a person, gladly
Want you even more.

I could understand a person,
If it's not a person's bag.
Do-do-do-doo!
I could understand a person,
If a person was a fag.
Do-do-do-doo!
But worse 'n that,
A person that,
Titillates a person and then leaves her flat,
Is crazy,
He's a troubled person,
He's a truly crazy person himself.

KATHY:
When a person's personality is personable,
He should not sit like a lump.
It's harder than a matador coercin' a bull,
To try to get you off of your rump.
So single and attentive and attractive a man,
Is everything a person could wish.
But turning off a person is the act of a man,
Who likes to pull the hooks out of fish.

APRIL, KATHY, MARTA:
Knock-knock! Is anybody there?
Knock-knock! It really isn't fair.
Knock-knock! I'm workin' all my charms.
Knock-knock! A zombie's in my arms.

All that sweet affection!
What is wrong?
Where's the loose connection?
How long, O Lord, how long?
Bobby-baby-Bobby-bubbi-Bobby

You could drive a person buggy,
You could blow a person's cool.
Like you make a person feel all huggy,
While you make her feel a fool.
When a person says that you upset her,
That's when you're good.
You impersonate a person better,
Than a zombie should.

I could understand a person,
If he wasn't good in bed.
I could understand a person,
If he actually was dead.
Do-do-do-doo!

Exclusive you!
Elusive you!
Will any person ever get the juice of you?
You're crazy,
You're a lovely person,
You're a moving,
Deeply maladjusted,
Never to be trusted,
Crazy person yourself.

Bobby is my hobby and I'm givin' it up!
