Lyrics of Thumbs by Sabrina Carpenter
verse
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 the mother
And they're all just tryna multiply with one another
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
verse
Somewhere in the world, they think they're working for themselves
They get up everyday to go to work for someone else
And somebody works for them and so they think they 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
chorus
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
verse
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
'Cause they're all just workin' 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-da-dum
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
chorus
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
verse
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
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-da-dum
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum
chorus
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum (Skiddly-dee-da-da-da-da-dum-da-da-dum)
And so they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs (Keep on, keep on)
Skiddly-dee-da-dum
(They keep on, they keep on) They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs
Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum (That's just the way of the world)
