Skip a rope skip a rope listen to the children
while they play
Ain't it kinda funny what kids all say skip a
rope
Daddy hates mama mama hates dad
Last night you should've 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...
Cheat on your taxes don't be a fool what was that
they said about the 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...
Stub 'em in the back that's the name of the
game
And mama and daddy are the ones to blame
Skip a rope skip a rope listen to the children
while they play
It's not really funny what children say skip a
rope
Skip a rope skip a rope
