Lyrics[]

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 (Hey, why not?)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (I'm gonna play now)
[instrumental break]
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (I can bang that sucker)
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' head
Because
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (Bang! Bang!)
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 (Hey, hey, hey, hey!)
I want to bang on the drum all day (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (This is why I bang the drum)
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 (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!)
I don't want to work (Hey, hey, hey, hey!)
I want to bang on the drum all day (Hey, bang!)
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
