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...

I don't want to work

I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, hey)

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 (hey, you wanna take a bang at it?)

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 (I can do this all day)

I don't want to work

I want to bang on the drum all day
