Skip A Rope

[Chorus]
Skip a rope
Skip a rope
Oh, listen to the children while they play, yeah
Now ain't it kind of funny what the children say?
Skip a rope
Woo

[Verse 1]
Daddy hates mommy, and mommy hates dad
That's what the children are saying
Last night you shoulda heard the fight they had
It gave little sister a very bad dream, yeah
She woke us all up with a terrible scream

[Chorus]
Skip a rope
Huh, skip a rope
Oh, listen to the children while they play, yeah
Ain't it kind of funny what them children say?
Skip a rope

[Verse 2]
Cheat on your taxes, don't you be a fool, boy
Now what was that you said about the golden rule?
Ah, never mind the rule
You just play to win, yeah
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin

[Chorus]
We'll skip asomerope, heh
Skip a little rope
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Lord, it's kinda funny what them children say
Skip a rope

[Verse 3]
Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of your game
And mama and daddy are who's to blame
Well you all know, we all got to

[Chorus]
Skip a little rope
Skip a little rope
Ah, you just listen to the children while they play, yeah
And you'll hear some of the things they say
Skip a rope
