Thumbs

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause that's just the way of the world

It never ends 'til 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're working for themselves

They get up every day to go to work for someone else

And somebody works for them

And so, they think they've got it made

But they're all just working to get paid the very same

[Chorus]

And so, they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum (Dum, dum, dum, dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum-dum (Dum, dum, dum, dum)

And so, they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum (Skiddly-dee-dat-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum-dum (Dum, dum, dum)

[Verse 3]

Somewhere in the world

You got a robber and a bank

And the bank robbed 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 working to get paid the very same

[Pre-Chorus]

'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

[Chorus]

And so, they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum (Skiddly-dee-dat-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum-dum (Dum, dum, dum, dum)

And so, they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum (Skiddly-dee-dat-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum-dum (Dum, 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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

It never ends 'til the end, and then you start again (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-dat-dum (Skiddly-dee-dat-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum-dum (Woo, woo, dum, dum, dum)

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

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum (Skiddly-dee-dat-dum)

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs (Laa)

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum-dum

(Skiddly-dee-dat-dat-dat-de-dat-dum-dum)

[Outro]

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

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum (Dum, dum, dum, dum)

They keep on, they keep on

They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs

Skiddly-dee-dat-dum-dum

'Cause that's just the way of the world
