C                    G7
Skip a Rope,  Skip a Rope
    C                                 Am
Oh, listen to the children while they play
    C                             Am
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
       C
Skip a Rope

[Verse 1]
                               Am
Daddy hates Mommy  Mommy hates Dad
C                                 Am
Last night you should'a heard the fight they had
C                              Am
Gave little sister another bad dream
    C                     Am
She woke us all up with a terrible scream

[Chorus]
C                    G7
Skip a Rope,  Skip a Rope
   C                                 Am
Oh listen to the children while they play
    C                             Am
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
       C
Skip a Rope

[Verse 2]
C                              Am
Cheat on your taxes don't be a fool
    C                               Am
Now what was that they said about a Golden Rule
C                                Am
Never mind the rule just play to win
    C                          Am
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin

[Chorus]
C                    G7
Skip a Rope,  Skip a Rope
   C                                 Am
Oh listen to the children while they play
    C                             Am
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
       C
Skip a Rope

[Verse 3]
C                                           Am
Stab 'em in the back that's the name of the game
    C                   Am
And Mommy and Daddy are who's to blame

[Chorus]
       C             G7
Skip a Rope,  Skip a Rope
     C                                  Am
Just listen to your children while they play
            C                                Am
It's really not very funny what the children say
       C      Am     C
Skip a Rope,  Skip a Rope
Am     C      Am     C
Skip a Rope,  Skip a Rope
