She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
I don't want to work
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to work
I just want to bang on the drum all day
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss's head
I want to bang on the drum all day
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
When I get older they think I'm a fool
I don't want to play
Ever since I was a tiny boy
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I don't want to play
And that's why I don't want to work
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I want to bang on the drum all day
But my licks was so hot I made the teacher wanna dance
I don't want no candy, I don't need no toy
I want to bang on the drum all day
I bang on that thing 'til I got blisters on my hand
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Because I don't want to work
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I feel so frustrated the boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
Listen to this every day when I get home from work
I don't want to play
I don't want to play
I want to bang on the drum all day
The teacher told me I should stay after school
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to work
I don't want to play
I want to bang on the drum all day
Because I don't want to work
