Skip a Rope

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 mommy, mommy 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 Oh, 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 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 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 --- Skip a Rope - Henson Cargill
