Skip a Rope

(Glenn Tubb / Jack Moran)



Skip a rope, skip a rope



Awwwww Listen to the children

While they play

Now, ain't it kinda' funny

what the children say.



Skip a rope.



Daddy hates momma and momma 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,



Awwwww 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 neighbor for the shade of their skin.



Skip a rope, skip a rope.



Awww 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 momma and daddy

Are who's to blame.



Skip a rope, skip a rope.



Awww Listen to the 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...
