“Skip A Rope” is the last song in Charley Crockett’s “Music City USA” album. It’s a cover of the original Skip A Rope by Henson Cargill.
The song delves into parents' neglect of their children and how this causes them to develop immoral behaviors such as tax evasion and racism.
[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
[Verse 1]
Daddy hates mama, mama hates dad
Last night you shoulda heard the fight they had
It gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream
[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
[Verse 2]
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now, what was that they said about a golden rule?
Nevеr mind the rules, just play to win
And hate your nеighbor for the shade of his skin
[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
[Bridge]
Stab 'em in the back that's the name of the game
And mama, and daddy, are who's to blame
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Skip a rope
Skip a rope
Skip a rope
