Skip A Rope

A


[Chorus]
       A
Skip a rope
       E
Skip a rope
    A                                 F#m
Oh, listen to the children while they play
     A                             F#m
Now, ain't it kinda funny what the children say
       A
Skip a rope


[Verse 1]
A                              F#m
Daddy hates Mommy, Mommy hates Dad
A                                F#m
Last night you shoulda heard the fight they had
A                              F#m
Gave little sister another bad dream
    A                     F#m
She woke us all up with a terrible scream


[Chorus]
       A
Skip a rope
       E
Skip a rope
    A                                 F#m
Oh, listen to the children while they play
     A                             F#m
Now, ain't it kinda funny what the children say
       A
Skip a rope

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


[Chorus]
       A
Skip a rope
       E
Skip a rope
    A                                 F#m
Oh, listen to the children while they play
     A                             F#m
Now, ain't it kinda funny what the children say
       A
Skip a rope


[Bridge]
A                                            F#m
Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of the game
    A         N.C.                F#m
And Mommy and Daddy are who's to blame


[Chorus]
       A
Skip a rope
       E
Skip a rope
     A                                  F#m
Just listen to your children while they play
            A              N.C.              F#m
It's really not very funny what the children say


[Outro]
       A
Skip a rope
       A
Skip a rope
       A
Skip a rope
       A
Skip a rope
       A
Skip a rope
