Skip A Rope

Skip A Rope (Rerecorded) - Henson Cargill

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

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

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

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 your children

While they play

It's really not very funny

What the children say

Skip a rope skip a rope

Skip a rope
