Bang on the Drum Songtext
von Todd Rundgren

Bang the drum
Bang the 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

Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don′t want no candy, don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing till I got blisters on my hand because

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

When I′m 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
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

Take 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
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 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
