Skip a rope, skip a rope
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain't that funny what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad
Last night you should've 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
Now ain't that funny what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now what was that they said about the golden rule
Never mind the rule 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 that funny what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Stab 'em in the back that's the name of the game
And mom 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 very funny what your children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope, skip a rope. skip a rope...
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain't that funny what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad
Last night you should've 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
Now ain't that funny what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now what was that they said about the golden rule
Never mind the rule 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 that funny what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Stab 'em in the back that's the name of the game
And mom 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 very funny what your children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope, skip a rope. skip a rope...
