Bang On The Drum All Day Lyrics
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
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
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
I can bang that drum
Hey, you wanna take a bang at it?
I can do this all day
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 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
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
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
Hey, you wanna take a bang at it?
I can do this all day

this is a classic-good rule of thumb to live by (if you can afford it) and how many songs you know start with the chorus? Todd is pure genius..
Simpl meaning, about a guy that love to play in his band at night but never wants to go to work in the day.
a classic friday night song...fuck work!!!
Still listening to this one (on a friday; nonetheless) in 2024. Definitely bang on the drum ALL day (don't wanna work!).
Songmeaning is quite simple... F-U to the man and the system...
BANG ON THE DRUM ALL DAY friends.
