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.
