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 momma, momma 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
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now what was that they said about a golden rule?
Never mind the rules, you 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 it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope
Stab em in the back, that's the name of the game
And momma 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
