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 shoulda heard
The fight they had
Gave little sister
Another bad dream
She woke us all up
With a terrible scream
[Chorus:]
Cheat on your taxes
Don't be a fool
Now what was that they said
About a golden rule
Never mind the rules
Just play to win
And hate your neighbor
For the shade of his skin
[Chorus:]
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 your 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
[Chorus:] 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 shoulda heard The fight they had Gave little sister Another bad dream She woke us all up With a terrible scream [Chorus:] Cheat on your taxes Don't be a fool Now what was that they said About a golden rule Never mind the rules Just play to win And hate your neighbor For the shade of his skin [Chorus:] 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 your 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 Explain Request ×
