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're all just tryna multiply with one another

'Cause that's just the way of the world

It never ends 'til 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'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 twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum

And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum (skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' 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 workin' to get paid the very same

'Cause that's just the way of the world

It never ends 'til 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 twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum (skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum

And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum (skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' 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 twiddlin' them thumbs

'Cause that's just the way of the world (way of the world)

It never ends 'til 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 twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum (skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum

And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum (skiddly-dee-da-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum (skiddly-dee-da-da-da-da-dum-da-da-dum)

And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs (keep on, keep on)

Skiddly-dee-da-dum

(They keep on, they keep on) they gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum (that's just the way of the world)
