Ray Stevens - Yakety Yak Lyrics
He's free as the breeze
He's always at ease
He lives in the jungle and hangs by his knees
As he swings through the trees
With a trapeze in his B.V.D.s
To play, the guitar, gonna be a big star
Yeah, he's gonna go far
And carry moonbeams home in a jar
He ordered Chet's guitar course C.O.D.
Like A and E and he's working on be
Big W&W and R&B and even the chimpanzees agree
That someday soon he'll be a celebrity
Get it, get it, get it.
Gitarzan, he's a gitar man
Give him a hand, gitarzan
He's got a girl named Jane
With no last name
Kinda homely and plain
But he loves her just the same
Cause she kindles the flame
And it drives him insane
When he hears her say
She really does her thing
It's her claim to fame
Come on sing one Jane
Baby, baby, oh baby
Baby, oh baby
(How about that folks)
They've got a pet monkey who likes
To get drunk and sing boogie woogie
And it sounds real funky
Come on your turn boy
Sing one monkey
Let's hear it for the monkey
On Saturday night they need some excitement
Jane gets right and the monkey gets tight
And their voices unite
In the pale moonlight
And it sounds all right
Yeah, it's dynamite, it's out of sight
Let's hear it right now
Baby, baby oh baby
Yeah, shut up baby, I'm trying to sing
Get it, get it, get it
[Repeat Chorus]

Ray Stevens Yakety Yak Comments
I first heard this when I was 6. It was the B side of my Along Came Jones single. I heard the Ray Stevens versions of both songs long before I ever heard the Coasters originals.
Thanks for this post! Grateful for YouTube
I like this version 👍
Required listening for all teenagers.
This is a killer cover from Mister Raymond Stevenson.
Me love long time. LOL!
I absolutely love ray stevens. Even now as an adult with kids of my own. I still play and watch his video with my kids. He always made me smile as a kid and still does
Good Stuff!!!
