(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.
