Skip a Rope

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

 Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
 Now what was that they said about the golden rule
 Never mind the rule, 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
 Mommy and daddy are who 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
