Somewhere in the world
there is a father and a mother
And the father is a son
who has a mother
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 and so they think
they got it made
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-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 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
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-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-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
