Lyrics of
Thumbs

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 try to 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
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-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
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 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
'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
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
They gonna keep on twiddlin' 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 twiddlin' them thumbs
'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
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
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs,
skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs, skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs (skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum)
'Cause that's just the way of the world
