BANG ON THE DRUM

Todd Rundgren


I Don't Want To Work

I Just 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

CHORUS

I Don't Want To Work

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day
I Don't Want To Play

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day

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

CHORUS

I Don't Want To Work

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day
I Don't Want To Play

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day

BREAK

CHORUS
I Don't Want To Work

I Just 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

CHORUS 4X

I Don't Want To Work

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day
I Don't Want To Play

I Just Want To Bang On The Drum All Day
