I happened to think of this old Coasters song yesterday, and found it on YouTube:

I like everything about it. The humorous lyrics, the catchy tune, the saxophone, and the bass “Don’t talk back.”

Take out the papers and the trash

Or you don’t get no spendin’ cash.

Ah, the memories.

Don't see much bad about that list!

I just listened to this golden oldie again. Love it! The YouTube link in my OP is blocked now, but this one works:

Interesting. I was only five years old in 1958, but I remember most of those songs. Of course, I was listening to the radio from the time I was able to turn it on.

It's a song I've always enjoyed.

...And my vote for favorite use of Yakety Yak in a movie:
The Great Outdoors with the late John Candy.
