B.j. Thomas - Skip A Rope lyrics

rate me

(Jack Moran - Glenn D. Tubb)

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Listen to the children while they play

Now ain't it funny what the children say

Skip a rope,.

Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad

Last night you should've heard the fight they had

It gave little sister another bad dream

And she woke us all up with a terrible scream.

Skip a rope, skip a rope

Listen to the children while they play

Now ain't it funny what the children say

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

Listen to the children while they play

Now ain't it funny what the children say

Skip a rope.

--- Instrumental ---

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 your children while they play

Now it's not funny what the children say

Skip a rope, skip a rope, skip a rope, skip a rope, skip a rope...
