skip a rope skip a rope
oh listen to the children while they play
now ain’t it kind of funny what the children say
skip a rope
daddy hates mommy mommy hates dad
last night you should’a 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 it kind of 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 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 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
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
