Lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] Daddy hates mama, mama hates dad Last night you shoulda heard the fight they had It gave little sister another bad dream She woke us all up with a terrible scream [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool Now, what was that they said about a golden rule? Nevеr mind the rules, just play to win And hate your nеighbor for the shade of his skin [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Stab 'em in the back that's the name of the game And mama, and daddy, are who's to blame [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Skip a rope Skip a rope Skip a rope
