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

Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad

Last night you should've heard the 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

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

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

Mommy and daddy are who to blame

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Just listen to your children while they play

It's really not very funny what the children say

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Skip a rope, skip a rope
