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
Cos 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
Cos they're all just working to get paid the very same
Cos 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
Cos that's just they 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)
Cos that's just the way of the world
