Skip a Rope Lyrics

Skip a rope
Skip a ropeListen to the children
While they play
Now ain't it kinda funny
What the children saySkip a ropeDaddy hates Mommy
Mommy hates Dad
Last night you shoulda heard
The fight they hadGave little sister
Another bad dream
She woke us all up
With a terrible screamSkip a rope
Skip a ropeListen to the children
While they play
Now ain't it kinda funny
What the children saySkip a ropeCheat on your taxes
Don't be a fool
Now what was that they said
About a golden rule?Well, never mind the rules

Just play to win
And hate your neighbor
For the shade of his skinSkip a rope
Skip a ropeOh, listen to the children
While they play
Now ain't it kinda funny
What the children saySkip a ropeStab 'em in the back
That's the name of the game
And Mommy and Daddy
Are who's to blameSkip a rope
Skip a ropeJust listen to the children
While they play
It's really not funny
What the children saySkip a rope
Skip a ropeSkip a rope
Skip a ropeSkip a rope
Skip a rope
