Skip a Rope

(Jack Moran - Glenn D. Tubb)



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 a little sister another bad dream

She woke us all up with a terrible scream.



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.



Cheat on your taxes don't be a fool

That 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

Listen to the children while they play

Ain't it kinda funny what kids all say

Skip a rope.



Stab '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 really not funny what children say

Skip a rope.



Skip a rope, skip a rope...
