C                   G
Skip a rope, skip a rope

       C
Awwwww listen to the children

           Am
While they play

     C
Now, ain't it kinda' funny

         Am
What the children say

Skip a rope

[Verse 1]

Daddy hates momma and momma hates dad

C                                   Am
Last night, you should've heard the fight they had

   C                              Am
It gave little sister another bad dream

    C                     Am
She woke us all up with a terrible scream

[Chorus]

C                   G
Skip a rope, skip a rope

Awwwww listen to the children

           Am
While they play

Now, ain't it kinda' funny

Skip a rope

Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool

     C                               Am
Now, what was that they said about a Golden Rule?

      C                                  Am
Well, never mind the rules, just play to win

    C                          Am
And hate your neighbor for the shade of their skin

[Chorus]

C                   G
Skip a rope, skip a rope

       C
Awwwww listen to the children

Stab 'em in the back

                       Am
That's the name of the game

    C
And momma and daddy

    Am
Are who's to blame

[Chorus]

Skip a rope, skip a rope

It's really not very funny

         Am
What the children say

Skip a rope, skip a rope

C
Skip a rope, skip a rope
