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 tryin' to multiply with one another
'Cause 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're workin' 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 a maid
But they're all just workin' to get paid the very same
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum
Skiddly dee da dum
So they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum
Skiddly dee da dum
So they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da 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
Though we're all just workin' to get paid the very same
'Cause 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 twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum
Skiddly dee da dum
So they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum
Skiddly dee da dum
So they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da 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
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 twiddlin' them thumbs
Keep on skiddly dee da dum
Skiddly dee da dum
So they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum
Skiddly dee da dum
So they keep on laaaa
Keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum
So they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum keep on
So they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly dee da dum
Somewhere in the world
