Skip a Rope Songtext
von Bobby Bare

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain′t it kind of funny what the children say?

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad
Last night you should've heard the big 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 kind of funny what the children say?

Skip a rope
Skip a rope


Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
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 kind of funny what the children say?

Skip a rope
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

Listen to the children while they play
Now it′s not very funny what the children say

Skip a rope
Skip a rope
Skip a rope
