Don't Hassle Me (1985)
(Intro.)
Hey, Mrs. McChalkskin! Can Whitey come out to play?
Hey, it's D.J. Pop'N'Fresh!
(Verse 1.)
I was chillin’ in my room, playin’ NES
When my dad came in, his voice distressed.
Says I gotta carry my load and do my share
Or I don’t get to go to the O.C. Fair.
I gotta load the washer and take out the trash
Or I won’t get allowance and have some cash.
Before I can hit the fair by the shores
I gotta knuckle down and finish my chores.
(Hook.)
Yakkity-yak! Yakkity-yak!
Don’t hassle me. Get off my back.
Yakkity-yak! Yakkity-yak!
Can’t you cut your son a little slack?
(Verse 2.)
Had a date with a girl that was funny and smart.
She was quirky and cute and good at art.
As I’m headin’ out the door, my parents say “Wait!
Where are you going on grandma’s birthday?”
I said, “I gotta date.” They say, “She’s turning eighty.”
Said I had to go and forget about Katie.
Granny’s feelings would be hurt. She’d feel betrayed
Unless I went to the Hometown Buffet.
(Hook.)
Yakkity-yak! Yakkity-yak!
Don’t hassle me. Get off my back.
Yakkity-yak! Yakkity-yak!
Don’t mess with the daddy-mack.
(Verse 3.)
I’d had my learner’s permit for quite a while.
My mom screams for me and puts me on trial.
Says my grades are too poor for me to drive.
Said if I want my license I’d better strive
For a better average than my normal C plus.
Or I better get used to riding the bus.
If I want to drive a car and have my independence,
I have to ace my tests and improve my attendance.
(Hook.)
Yakkity-yak! Yakkity-yak!
Don’t hassle me. Get off my back.
Yakkity-yak! Yakkity-yak!
Come on, mom, don’t you know that’s whack?
Yakkity-yak! Yakkity-yak!
Can’t you cut your son a little slack?
Yakkity-yak! Yakkity-yak!
Come on, mom, don’t you know that’s whack?
