[Verse 1]
|
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
|
|
[Pre-Chorus]
|
'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
|
[Verse 2]
|
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 gotta maid
|
But they're all just working to get paid the very same
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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)
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
Somewhere in the world you got a robber at a bank
|
And the bank robed the people, so, the people rob 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
|
|
[Pre-Chorus]
|
'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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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)
|
|
[Bridge]
|
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
|
|
[Breakdown]
|
'Cause that's just the way of the world (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!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And, so, they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs (keep on)
|
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum, skiddly-dee-da-dum)
|
They gonna keep (on) on twiddlin' them thumbs
|
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum)
|
(Woo-oo, woo-oo)
|
And, so, they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs (keep on, keep on)
|
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum, skiddly-dee-da-dum)
|
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs (la-a-a-a-a)
|
(Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum)
|
(Siddly-dee-da-da-da-de-da-dum-dum)
|
|
[Outro]
|
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

|
| 'Cause that's just the way of the world! |
