I took a stick and an old copycat
I took a stick and an old coffee can
My dance separated, my boss is a turk
or

I feel so frustrated, my boss is a jerk
She caught me poundin' on her t**s with my hand.
She caught me poundin' on the desk with my hand.
When I get home and I think I'm a fool
When I get older, they think I'm a fool
I don't wanna binge on the drum all day
I just wanna bang on the drum all day
I wanna bank on the month of May
I wanna bang on the drum all day
