Yakety Yak,
Take it Back.<p>Don't be no square. Don't be no chump.
Don't make this Earth a garbage dump.

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.

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around.
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town.
