Lyrics
All over the world high school girls
Take to the ropes and turn them slow
Starts a beat and the loop
They skip and jump through the hoop
They might break and they might fall
But the gals in New York City don't
They just start again, start again
Hey, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes
The golden angels, the ford green angels
The five town diamond skippers, the pleasure of rope rippers
Those dark and lovely skippers, those five town diamond skippers
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Hey, swing those ropes 'round and 'round
All the teams change your partners now
Somersault through the hoop, leap to beat
The clicks that keep on coming
Hey, watch your feet
To win the double dutch
Stay jumping
Hey, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
The mighty motion skippers
The pleasure of rope rippers
The dark and lovely skippers
The mighty motion skippers
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Skip they do's the double dutch, that's them dancing
Hey girls, how many skips can you do?
All over the world high school girls
Take to the ropes and turn them slow
Starts a beat and the loop
They skip and jump through the hoop
They might break and they might fall
But you know the gals in New York City don't
They just start again, start again
Hey, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo, ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes
Hey, ebo, ebo ebonettes
