Skip a Rope

I heard this song on the radio on the way home from church services this evening. Truer lyrics were never sung.

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Oh, listen to the children while they play

Ain't it kind of funny what the children say?

Skip a rope

Daddy hates Mommy, Mommy hates Dad

Last night you should have heard the fight they had

It gave little sister another bad dream

She woke us all up with a terrible scream

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Oh, listen to the children while they play

Ain't it kind of funny what the children say?

Skip a rope

Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool

What 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

Oh, listen to the children while they play

Ain't it kind of funny what the children say?

Skip a rope

Stab'em in the back, that's the name of the game

And Mommy and Daddy are who's to blame

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Oh, listen to the children while they play

Ain't it kind of funny what the children say?
