Skip A Rope

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Oh, listen to the children while they play

Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say

Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad

Last night you should've heard the big fight they had

It gave little sister another bad dream

She woke us all up with a terrible scream.

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Oh, listen to the children while they play

Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say

Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool

Now what was that they said about the golden rule

Never mind the rule just play to win

And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin.

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Oh, listen to the children while they play

Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say

Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Stab 'em in the back that's the name of the game

And mommy and daddy are who's to blame

Skip a rope, skip a rope, listen to the children while they play

Now it's not very funny what the children say

Skip a rope, skip a rope, skip a rope...
