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
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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
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 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
