Skip a Rope — текст песни (Bobby Bare)

(Jack Moran - Glenn D. Tubb)

Skip a rope, skip a rope
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain`t it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad
Last night you should`ve heard the big 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
Now ain`t it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Cheat on your taxes, don`t be a fool
Now what was that they said about the golden rule
Never mind the rule 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
Now ain`t it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope, 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, listen to the children while they play
Now it`s not very funny what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope, skip a rope...
