And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at

At least as far as he is able.

Take out the papers

Or you don’t get no spending cash.

Yakety-yak.
Don’t tack back.
Just finish cleaning up your room,
Let’s see the dust fly with that broom,
Get all the garbage out of sight,
Or you don’t go out Friday night.
Don’t you give me no dirty looks,
Your mother hip, she knows what cook.
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside,
You ain’t got time to take a ride. J. Leiber and M. Stoller
