Sabrina Carpenter - Thumbs (Lyrics) 

*first few lyrics of the song* Me: I'm already lost. XD

Sabrina Carpenter: The only person who can make the entire chorus of a song "Skiddle-dee-da-dum" and not make it sound stupid.

This song sounds like one of those Maths problem.

Why is this song describing our society. Like dam it's true though. Everyone gets paid the same, crime, people just get into fake relationships, gossip, etc etc.

guys be honest we stopped and thought about the family tree in the beginning at one part right?

It’s about being different and not just standing there on the sidelines twiddling your thumbs while the world around you needs help such a good message ❤️❤️❤️

Actually there is no incest (until "And they all just tryna multiply with one other" kinda confuse me, it doesn't say only with family members). There is a mother Anne who has two kids; Marc and Mary. Marc married Alice. Mary married Johnny. Alice and Johnny are brothers. Somewhere in the world there is a father *Marc* and a mother *Alice* And the father *Marc* is a son, who has a mother *Anne* The mother *Anne* has a daughter *Mary* who gets married to the brother *Johnny* of a mother *Alice*

The bank robbed the people so the people robbed the bank

I love this song! it makes me wanna get up and dance like an idiot 😂

“Don’t just march to the beat of that drum Don’t be one of them people just twiddling them thumbs” ok that’s amazing

The best part for me is: 'the bank robbed the people so the people robbed the bank' its so underrated.

It's sad because people will listen to this song, dance around and comment about it without understanding the message she is sending...

“Don’t believe everything that you hear, let it go though your left and right ear” sooooo trueeeeeee thoooo

I don’t think i have ever heard a song more accurate about life than this one... Love this song

Here’s something I think of the lyrics and the meanings First part : There is a man and woman , the man has a sister who is married to his wife’s brother . The point is that no one in the family talks to the man’s sister about it cause all they care about is just continuing the bloodline . Second part : employees works for a manager and the manager thinks they’re better then the employees but the manager is just another employee working for the boss and the boss works for owner and all of them thinks they are better then the ones below them but in reality they are all the same just with higher roles in the business . Third part : I believe the bank represents the government and the people/criminals represent the citizens of that government . Money in the bank represents rights and laws . When the government takes rights instead of protesting the citizens resort to violence till the government gives the, what they want . The chorus : “Don’t believe everything that you hear” self explanatory , don’t believe everything you hear on the news or on websites or from other people . “ let it go though your left and right ear” when you hear something look into it and think about it , if it’s not true just ignore it . “ don’t just follow that beat of that drum” you shouldn’t just believe your mind but also your heart and your gut feeling , cause they all should work together to make a decision or idea . “ don’t be one of those people just twitting their thumbs” I believe twitting your thumbs means worrying about something that what isn’t true , don’t be one those people who worry about small things or things that aren’t true cause it only makes you weaker and more likely of a victim of trolls and fake news . Thanks for reading and have a nice day . Comment if you agree or disagree and why

The lyrics: They r on the screen lol

somewere in the world there is a. robber and a bank the bank robbs the people so the people rib the bank lol

When you don't know the name of the song and start looking up "That's the way of the world lyrics" and start listening to the wrong song...... edit: why y'all like this comment so much. i was eleven when i wrote this. i'm a changed woman

the time it wouldve taken her to do just the first few lines, forget the whole song, shows her devotion. she is the also the only one who can sing "skiddle-dee-da-dum" and send a proper message, and not sound dumb.. beautiful song and beautiful message!

THIS GIRL REALLY MADE A SONG THAT IS A REALTY OF EVERY SOCIATY OF THESE DAYS! That's just the way of the world

1:03 sounds like "They gonna keep on twiddling them thumbs skiddly det they're thumbs"

I thought it said “keep twiddleing them thongs”🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I personally think Sabrina Carpenter is the most underrated artist of all time.

nobody: literally nobody: me in middle of my class: sliddly-dee-da-dum 😂

I love this song it's so catchy this will definitely be on my favorites list!😊👍👏

Why did they remove this from the radio? This was the only song I liked

This is a modern tongue twisters Forget see shells

The fact that this was made like 5 years ago and we are still listening to it-

This song is a perfect highlight of society It’s an illusion to an okay life if you’ve got a job and a bank account, when really, you’re working for someone else, not yourself, and you’re getting robbed by the banks But we just keep twiddling our thumbs and ignoring the problems, not making an effort to repair a broken society

Knock knock Who's there? Ach Ach who? BLESS YOU!😂😂😂

For those of you who are still trying to understand the family thing in the very beginning, When it says there's a father and a mother it's referring to a couple with kids. Then it says the father is a son who has a mother meaning that the dad in the couple has a mom and so forth. Then it goes on to say the mother has a daughter. meaning the father in the couple has a sister. Then it goes on to say the daughter gets married to a brother of a mother meaning the sister to the father in the couple gets married to a man, who is a brother to woman who has kids. Hopfully that made a bit more sense to you.

2019 anyone? No.....just me? Oh okay 2020 anyone? Lol

Can we all take a moment to appreciate this persons editing skills. I mean the lyrics were so on time with the song and it let me sing it and practice it really well and it was very impressive and I think that more people should realize that people do this and it takes a lot of time to do this sometimes

For the people who disliked this video, y'all keep twiddling them thumbs, but apparently y'all don't have thumbs

the fact that this was 5 years ago in this just now becoming a trend

I love this song it's so catchy this will definitely be on my favorites list

I remember 3 years ago I was younger and thought I liked the song and that it was catchy and cute, now that I'm older I realize how much meaning it has like ..

This is a perfect description to Earth.. *puts on full volume on the way to area 51* WELCOME TO EARTH!!

In the beginning all I heard was *I N C E S T*

She is a certified Queen. And this is a bop

My favorite part 2:21- 2:35 👌👌💞

oml I can't stop listening to this😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

A little joke Robber robed a bank Police officer:why did the people rob the bank Robber:the bank robbed the people so the people robbed the bank

Can we just appreciate how this was posted 5 years ago and now it’s becoming a trend

This song was so amazing live! Glad I was able to see her at jingle ball, which I vlogged, and it's up on my channel.

I’m not even a fan but seriously this is GOLD. finally some music that isn’t complete trash, this is actually good.

this song is the description of reality i like to dance on it too though "Don't be one of them people just twiddling them thumbs" that's an advice to take from that songs ,we need more people working so the world could be better everyday.

Why is this song so good?

Love this song...lyrics and beat, it resonates!👍

your so good can't stop listening to you

"Don't believe everything that you hear!" Um ok wait..-MOM SCHOOL IS BAD FOR ME! AND HOW ARE BABIES REALLY MADE?!

I honestly never care how long ago songs came out! They are always such great songs! Just like this one!

This is my favorite song rn!! i heard it on the radio and I started dancing right away and I had to look it up!!

SO SURPRISED SABRINA HAS A SONG ON THE RADIO SO HAPPY :D

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 '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 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 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 (skiddly-dee-da-dum) They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum 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 they'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, 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) They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum 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 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 (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) They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum (Woo-oo, woo-oo) And so, they keep on twiddlin' them thumbs (keep on, keep on) Skiddly-dee-da-dum (skiddly-dee-da-dum) They gonna keep on twiddlin' them thumbs (la-a-a-a-a) Skiddly-dee-da-dum-dum (Siddly-dee-da-da-da-de-da-dum-dum) 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 Cause that's just the way of the world

Listen to this song a few times and listen when she says these parts "the bank robbed the People so the People robbed the bank and The Police came to get him but let him get away cuz they all are working to get paid very same" And this means that you work in a job or school and your the teacher that works for somebody and you have maybe a maid or somone that works for you bc they all get paid for that. What this girl tells you trough a song is a message to not let others fool you in any way. You should listen to this song very carefully. Don't let People fool you and let it go trough your left and right ear. You do things to get something back. You work to get paid And you live to know. We don't listen when People is telling you the truth but you listen to things that's not true Bc that's just the way of the world. And so we keep on.

This is my favorite song now. It's so good 😄😄

favorite song I listen to it everyday 😍😍😍😍

the fact that this song came out 4 years ago makes me feel old

Everything put together sounds BEATIFULL

love this song

I love this song so much, I can listen to it all day.

I started to listen to this song because of TikTok

The people that listen to this are legends ❤️

I definitely thought the "skiddly-dee-da-dum" part was saying "until the heat death comes". Gotta admit, I am disappointed.

my favorite part is 1:23-1:38

Who else remembers when this song was on Disney ....Oh just me😅

I sang this in front of my whole school luckily they loved it

I can listen to this song all day long and not get board!😄

A perfect masterpiece

Hermosa canciones eres mi modelo a seguir 😘

Thank you for this :)

Love this song so much

why have i only heard this song once and im already obsessed?

I love this I have watched it a thousand times

I kept replaying the parts about the family just to figure it out but I got stuck on the "marry the brother of a mother" part and dicided to give up after multiple tries lol

literally me new fav song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this song .you go girl😊😊😊❤❤❤

I love your songs Sabrina carpenter exspetially thumbs

Beautiful voice!

I love this song. Its probably my fave!😁

I love the ''Once upon a time'' vibes this song has

I tried to type the lyrics on my phone and it was SO hard! thank you for making this video!!!!!!!

I've been to a live concert of her singing this song in 2017 it was amazing

I cant listen to this without crying

- *Breaks Thumb* -

I like comments so people from 2 years Or more probably forget a song 🎵 get reminded about the songs logics

Am I the only one that sorta figured out the family tree? Basically, a mother has a son, who gets married to a mother , and the father and mother have a daughter who marries the brother of a mother, and they multiply with each other. If this didn’t make any sense, let me know, I haven’t gotten it all figured out yet.

*I’ve learned more from this song then from school..* 👁👄👁
