Somewhere in the world

There is a father and a mother

And the father is a son who has a mother

And the mother has a daughter

Who gets married to

The brother of a mother

And they all just tryna multiply with one another

'cause that's just the way of the world

It never ends till the end

Then you start again

That's just the way of the world

That's just the way of the world

Somewhere in the world

They think they're working for themselves

They get up everyday to go to work

For someone else

And somebody works for them

So they think they gotta maid

But they're all just working

To get paid the very same

And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

Somewhere in the world you

Got a robber and a bank

And the bank robbed the people

So the people robbed the bank

And the police came to get him

But they let him get away

'cause they're all just working

To get paid the very same

'cause that's just the way of the world

It never ends till the end

And you start again

That's just the way of the world

That's just the way of the world

And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

Don't believe everything that you hear

Let it go through your left and right ear

Don't just march to the beat of that drum

Don't be one of them people

Just twiddling them thumbs

'cause that's just they way of the world

It never ends till the end

And you start again

That's just the way of the world

That's just the way of the world

And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs

(skiddly-dee-da-dum)

'cause that's just the way of the world
