FmSomewhere in the world there is a father
and a mother
And the father is a son who has a mother
GmThe mother has a daughter who gets married
to the brother of a mother
Cm GmAnd they all just try to multiply with one
another
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends till the end, then you start
again
GmThat's just the way of the world
Cm GmThat's just the way of the world

working for themselves
They get up every day to Go to work for
someone else
GmSomebody works for them and so they think
they've got it made
Cm GmBut they're all just working to get paid
the very same
[Chorus]
FmAnd so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs,
skiddly-dee-da-dum
GmThey gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs,
Cm Gmskiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
FmAnd so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs,
skiddly-dee-da-dum
GmThey gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs,
Cm Gmskiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
[Verse 3]
FmSomewhere in the world you got a robber at
a bank
And the bank robbed the people so the
people rob the bank
GmAnd the police came to get him, but they
let him get away
Cm'Cause they're all just working to get
Gmpaid the very same
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm'Cause that's just the way of the world
It never ends till the end, then you start
again
GmThat's just the way of the world
Cm GmThat's just the way of the world
[Chorus]
FmAnd so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs,
skiddly-dee-da-dum
GmThey gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs,

skiddly-dee-da-dum
GmThey gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs,

FmDon't believe everything that you hear
Let it Go through your left and right ear

It never ends till the end, then you start
again
