Skip a Rope

George Jones · Hits I Missed...And One I Didn't [Sugar Hill] [2005]

(Jack Moran - Glenn Tubb)



Skip as rope, skip a rope

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 of heard the fight they had

Gave little sister another bad dream

She woke us all up with a terrible scream.



Skip as rope, skip a rope

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

Well, never mind the rules, just play to win

And hate your neighbour for the shade of his skin.



Skip as rope, skip a rope

Oh, listen to the children while they play

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 the children while they play

It's really not funny, what the children say

Skip a rope, skip a rope.



Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Skip a rope, skip a rope.
