Skip a 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 shoulda 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
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 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
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
