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 mama, mama hates dad
Last night you shoulda 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
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?
Nevеr mind the rules, just play to win
And hate your nеighbor 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 mama, and daddy, are who's 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
