Lyrics Skip A Rope - B.J. Thomas

Skip A Rope

Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain’t it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Daddy hates momma and momma hates dad
Last night, you should’ve 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,
Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain’t it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Cheat on your taxes, don’t be a fool
Now, what was that they said about a Golden Rule?
Well, never mind the rules, just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of their skin.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Awww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain’t it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Stab 'em in the back,
That’s the name of the game
And momma and daddy
Are who’s to blame.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Awww listen to the children
While they play
It’s really not very funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Skip a rope, skip a rope
