That Yakety Yak



Went out east.
To play that Yakety
Went out east
To play that yakety yak.
Went out east.
Laid down the tracks.
Honey Gal said
Flat on the gas.

Yeah!

Flew out west to play
That Yakety Yak.
Flew out west to play
That Yakety Yak.
Flew out west
Got a huge Contract.
Them La babes say 
You want to smash.

Ooh!

We Rode on home.
To get refreshed.
Talked on the phone.
Late Hotel guest
Wouldn't leave it alone.
Oh!, Don't you know
Sleep when you're Dead.

Wasn't there an old rock song titled 'Yakety-Yak? I think this cute write could be a song as well!

Yeah, the Coasters, don't come back.. This one is more straight up rock and roll. Thank you for the comments. It is a song. Gershon, Have a Great Day.
