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 thats just the way of the world
~#**************#~
It never ends til the end, then you start again
~#**************#~
Thats just the way of the world
~#**************#~
Thats just the way of the world
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Somewhere in the world, they think theyre 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 got it made
~#**************#~
But theyre 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, 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 theyre all just working to get paid the very same
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
‘Cause thats just the way of the world
~#**************#~
It never ends til the end, then you start again (And then you start again)
~#**************#~
Thats just the way of the world
~#**************#~
Thats just the way of the world
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And so they keep on twiddlin them thumbs
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
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]
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Dont be one of them people just twiddlin them thumbs
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
‘Cause thats just the way of the world (Way of the world)
~#**************#~
It never ends til the end, and then you start again (Start again)
~#**************#~
Thats just the way of the world

Thats just the way of the world
~#**************#~
