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 no toy
I took a stick and
an old coffee can
I bang on that thing
til I got Blisters on
my hand because
I don't want to work
I want to bang
on the drum all day
Yes I do!
I don't want to play
I just want to bang
on the drum all day
That's right!
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 was so hot
I made the teacher
wanna dance
And that's why
I don't want to work
I want to bang
on the drum all day
Hey why not!
I don't want to play
I just want to bang
on the drum all day
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
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 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
I can bang that drum!
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
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
