Skip a Rope

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Daddy hates mommy, mommy 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of the game
And mommy and daddy are who's to blame

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Skip a rope, skip a rope
