Recorded to raise awareness to reduce, reuse, recycle (1991)


Take out the garbage and the trash
But hold on to your plastic stash
There is something you can do
Reduce, Recycle and Reuse

Yakkity Yak! Take that back!

When you are shopping at the store
Dont get those plastic bags no more
Try to reuse the ones youve got
You'll be surprised; you'll save a lot

Yakkity Yak! Take that back!

If there is garbage on the street
Lets clean it up and make it sweet
Find something to put it in
A trash can or recycle bin

Yakkity Yak! Take that back!

You're Super Heroes of the hour
With planet-saving super powers
Now that you know these simple rules
Reduce, recycle and reuse

Yakkity Yak! Take that back!

You all are sounding oh, so fine!
Let's hear you say it one more time:

Yakkity Yak! Take that back!
