Anyone know this song, I believe it's from the 80s, and I just have the chorus in my head alot these days. It goes something like "I don't wanna work, i just wanna...(now here is the part I don't remember....I believe 'it's bang on the drum all day'?)"

Does anyone know the name and artist of that?

It's called "Bang on the Drum all Day" by Todd Rundgren.

Here are the 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 want 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 ny 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..
