Lyrics

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 should've 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 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
