{Alright, everybody now}
They don't need to work
They just bang on the drum all day
They don't have to pray
They just simply bang on the drum all day
Ever seen Tibetan monks in a pinch
They don't need no fork lift
They don't need no winch
They take a stick and they don't hesitate
And bang on that drum 'til the rock levitates because they...
They don't need to work
They just bang on the drum all day {yes they do}
They don't have to pray
They just simply bang on the drum all day {thats right}
When I saw them do this I felt like a fool
The teachers never taught me how to do this in school
It takes some chanting and a really good band
But when I tried to do it I got blisters on my hand and that's why...
They don't need to work
They just bang on the drum all day {hey why not?}
They don't have to pray
They just simply bang on the drum all day {I wanna bang now}
{bass solo}
Hey hey hey hey hey hey!
Om om om om om om om!
They don't need to work
They just bang on the drum all day {They can lift that sucker}
They don't have to pray
They just simply bang on the drum all day {listen to this}
So next time you wanna lift a rock
And you feel frustrated, can't find no jock
Get some Tibetan monks, don't have to be strong
and let them pound that drum and do their happy little song because they...
They don't need to work
They just bang on the drum all day {bang bang}
They don't have to pray
They just simply bang on the drum all day {they just bang that drum}
They don't need to work
They just bang on the drum all day
They don't have to pray
They just simply bang on the drum all day
They don't need to work
They just bang on the drum all day
They don't have to pray
They just simply bang on the drum all day
They don't need to work
They just bang on the drum all day
They don't have to pray
They just simply bang on the drum all day
