(Chorus)
G D G
Skip a Rope ... Skip a Rope ..
. C
Oh, listen to the children while they play
G C ...
Now, ain't it kinda funny what the children say ...
D
Skip a Rope ...
C
Daddy hates Mommy, Mommy hates Dad ...
G C G
Last night you should'a heard the fight they had ...
C
Gave little sister another bad dream ...
G C G
She woke us all up with a terrible scream;
Chorus
C
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
...G C G
Now what was that they said about a Golden Rule ...
C
Never mind the rule, just play to win ...
G C G
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin;
(Chorus)
C
Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of the game ...
G C G
And Mommy and Daddy are who's to blame ...
G D G
Skip a Rope ... Skip a Rope ...
C
Just Listen to your children while they play ...
G C
It's really not very funny what the children say
D G
Skip a Rope ..... Skip a Rope ... .. {fade}
D G
Skip a Rope ..... Skip a Rope.
