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
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (yes, I do)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (that's right)
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
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, why not?)
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 (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...
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, hey)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (I can bang that 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
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, you wanna take a bang at it?)
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 can do this all day)
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day

Bang the Drum All Day lyrics © Warner-tamerlane Publishing Corp.
d.: Okay, you two. It’s time for a sudden death round to determine which one of you runs for president of the United States and which one of you will run on the undercard, so get your buzzers ready. I’ll asked the question and then whichever one of you buzzes in first gets first crack at the question. If, however, that contestant answers the question incorrectly, the other contestant can answer the question without being challenged. IF s/he answers the question correctly, that cat will be the presidential candidate as an independent. Are you ready?
T.: Ready.
C.: Check.
d.: Okay, for all the marbles, who won the 1971 Super Bowl?
T.: (ding)
d.: Okay, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken, what is your answer.
T.: After the only undefeated season in NFL history, the Miami Dolphins went on to win Super Bowl VII.
d.: No, sorry. The Dolphins did have the only undefeated season in NFL history in the 1971 regular season, but Super Bowl VII, which they won, was held in 1972. I was looking for the winner of Super Bowl VI.
Cal.E., it looks like, if you give the correct answer, you can run for POTUS on an independent ticket with your husband, Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken as your vice president.
C.: Oh, that’s easy. The answer is… (ring) Excuse me, I must take this call. It’s the Supreme Ruler of the Cat Galaxy, Meow Z. Tongue.
“Yes, Meow, I’d love to be the leader of my home planet, The Planet of the Talking Cats. What must I do to obtain said position? Umhm. Yes, okay. Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya very much.
d.: (That’s my alter ego’s line, isn’t it?)
C.: Well, T., I guess the presidential candidacy is yours. Meow Z. Tongue wants me to return to my home planet and run against my ex-husband in the next election for Ruler of POTTC. It seems that my ex has become mentally incompetent and is no longer capable or running the planet, so Meow wants me to run against his next-in-charge in the next election in November. Meow doesn’t think Tom’s mentally competent enough to run for re-election.
T.: Is he going to run the planet until then, Cal.E.?
C.: Yes, why?
T.: Well, if Tom isn’t mentally competent enough to run for ruler of the planet in the next election, how is he capable of running the planet until then?
C.:...That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner, exclusively on X.
