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 try to multiply with one another

'Cause that's just the way of the world

It never ends till the end and 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 work all for themselves

They get up everyday to go to work for someone else

And somebody works for them and so they think they got a 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-dum)

Somewhere in the world you got a robber in 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 then 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-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 the way of the world

It never ends till the end and then 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-dum)

And so they keep on twiddling them thumbs

(Skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs

(Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum)

'Cause that's just the way of the world
