Bang on the Drums (From Nim's Island) - 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
