(Mixx scratches "Yakety Yak")

Brother Marquis:
When you re told to do something by your mom and dad
Don t frown in their face or get mad
Because as long as you re livin under their roof
You better mind your mouthor get Dad s boot
It s the simples thing that they ask of you
Like mow the lawn and take the trash out too
But it always never seems to get doneso ...

Luke:
Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don t get no spendin cash
You better wax that kitchen flo
Or you ain t rock n rollin no mo !
Yakety Yak! (Don t talk back!)
Ha haaa!

Fresh Kid Ice:
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 cleanedquick and fast
Dust the furniturehave the floor waxed
It gotta be spotless from front to back
You might as well get off your butt and ...

Mr. Mixx:
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!)
Don t you roll yo eyes at meboy!

Brother Marquis:
This house is dirtyit s a total mess
No need to be rudeso don t get dressed
There s a lot of things that have to be done
If you don tthen you have no fun
Now pack the basket with those dirty clothes
And go to the laundromat before it closes
There s no need to pout or frown aroundso ...

Luke:
You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundry-mat
And when you re finished doing that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety Yak! (Don t talk back!)

(Mixx scratches "Take out the papers and the trash" and "Breakdown!")

Fresh Kid Ice:
Behind your dad s backyou roll your eyes
Always plottin and schemin and plannin lies
But you re always doin things to make him mad
Instead of doin right for good old dad
So tell your friend you re not hangin out
Just do as I say cause I m the man of the house
You better act like you got some sense and ...

Mr. Mixx:
Don t you give me no dirty looks
Your father s stiffhe knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain t got time to take a ride
Yakety Yak! (Don t talk back!)
What you say to me boy?
