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 shoulda heard, the fight they had
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 a Golden Rule
Never mind the rules, 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
And mommy and daddy, are the ones 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
Skip a rope, skip a rope
