- Bang The Drum All Day Lyrics / with translations(chorus)
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
(chorus)
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)
(instrumental)
(chorus)
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 to fade)
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
(chorus)
When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher wanna dance
and that's why
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)
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 to fade)
