When the night has come and the land is dark And the moon is the only light we'll see No, I won't be afraid, oh I won't be afraid Just as long as you… - Leiber-Stoller

Pick up the papers from the trash.
Cans and bottles you can cash.
We'll better just recycle, or
We're not gonna rock 'n' roll no more
Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.<p>Don't be no square. Don't be no chump.
Don't make this Earth a garbage dump.
This planet's screaming "NO MORE FUNK!".
There's no more room for no more junk.
Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.<p>Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.
Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.
Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.
Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.<p>Kids, you don't have to go to school
To teach your folks this simple rule.
If it's a drink, or just a snack,
Well, when it's empty, take it back.
Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.<p>Who says you can't fight City Hall?
Just write a letter. Make a call.
Sign a petition. And, what's more,
Make 'em get it at your door.
Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.<p>Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.
Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.
Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.
Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.

I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel Two
A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was a-chasin' poor Sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill and said with an evil laugh
"If you don't gimme the deed to your ranch, I'll saw you all in half"<p>And then he grabbed her
And then?
He tied her up
And then?
He turned on the buzz saw
And then?
And then?
Eh-eh!<p>And then along came Jones…

I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down at Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine<p>I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said, "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine"
