I don't want to work I want to bang on the drum all day I don't want to play I just want to bang on the drum all day Ever since I was a tiny boy I don't want no candy I don't need toy I took a stick and an old coffee can I bang on that thing 'til I got Blisters on my hand Because... When I get older they think I'm a fool The teacher told me I should stay after school She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands But my licks were so hot I made the teacher want to dance And that's why... Listen to this Every day when I get home from work I feel so frustrated The boss is a jerk And I get my sticks and go out to the shed And i pound on that drum like it was the boss's head Because. I CAN BANG ON THAT DRUM HEY, YOU WANT TO A BANG AT IT? I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY
