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
