Lyrics Malcolm McLaren

Malcolm McLaren

Double Dutch

All over the world high school girls

Take to the ropes and turn them slow

Starts a beat and the loop

They skip and jump through the hoop

They might break and they might fall

But the gals in New York City don't

They just start again, start again

Hey, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes

The golden angels, the ford green angels

The five town diamond skippers, the pleasure of rope rippers

Those dark and lovely skippers, those five town diamond skippers

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Hey, swing those ropes 'round and 'round

All the teams change your partners now

Somersault through the hoop, leap to beat

The clicks that keep on coming

Hey, watch your feet

To win the double dutch

Stay jumping

Hey, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes

The mighty motion skippers

The pleasure of rope rippers

The dark and lovely skippers

The mighty motion skippers

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing

Hey girls, how many skips can you do?

All over the world high school girls

Take to the ropes and turn them slow

Starts a beat and the loop

They skip and jump through the hoop

They might break and they might fall

But you know the gals in New York City don't

They just start again, start again

Hey, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes

Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes
