The golden angels, the Fort Greene angels The five town diamond skippers, the pleasure of rope rippers Those dark and lovely skippers, those five town diamond skippers Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Hey, swing those ropes 'round and 'round All the teams change your partners now Somersault through the hoop, leap to beat The clicks that keep on coming
Hey, watch your feet To win the double dutch Stay jumping Hey, ebo, ebonettes
The mighty motion skippers The pleasure of rope rippers The dark and lovely skippers The mighty motion skippers
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Hey girls, how many skips can you do?
All over the world high school girls Take to the ropes and turn them slow Starts a beat and the loop They skip and jump through the hoop
They might break and they might fall But you know the gals in New York City don't They just start again, start again Hey, ebo, ebonettes
