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 want no 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 ny 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 TO A BANG AT IT?

i CAN DO THIS ALL DAY
