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 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 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? Well, 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 who's to blame Skip a rope Skip a rope Just listen to the children While they play It's really not funny What the children say Skip a rope Skip a rope Skip a rope Skip a rope Skip a rope Skip a rope
