Bang The Drum All Day

Todd Rundgren · Great Classics [2004]

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 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 were so hot

I made the teacher want to 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 on that drum

Hey you want to a bang at it?

I can do this all day
