alright everybody now
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 were 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

i just want to bang on the drum all day

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’ head
because
i don’t want to work
i want to bang on the drum all day
