Skip a rope, skip a rope
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Ain't it kind of funny what the children say?
Skip a rope
Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad
Last night you should have 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
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Ain't it kind of funny what the children say?
Skip a rope
Cheat on your taxes don't be a fool
What was that they said about the golden rule?
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
Ain't it kind of 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
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Ain't it kind of funny what the children say?
Skip a rope
