(Jack Moran - Glenn D. Tubb)

Skip a rope, skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
Ain't it kinda funny what kids all say
Skip a rope.

Daddy hates mama mama hates dad
Last night you should've heard the fight they had
Gave a little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream.

Skip a rope, skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
Ain't it kinda funny what kids all say
Skip a rope.

Cheat on your taxes don't be a fool
That was that they said about the 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
Listen to the children while they play
Ain't it kinda funny what kids all say
Skip a rope.

Stab 'em in the back that's the name of the game
And mama and daddy are the ones to blame.

Skip a rope, skip a rope
Listen to the children while they play
It's really not funny what children say
Skip a rope.

Skip a rope, skip a rope...
