Skip a Rope Lyrics
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
Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad
Last night you shoulda heard
The fight they had
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
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now what was that they said about a golden rule?
Never mind the rules 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
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
Just listen to your 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
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny What the children say
Skip a rope
Last night you shoulda heard
The fight they had
Gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny What the children say?
Skip a rope
Now what was that they said about a golden rule?
Never mind the rules just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny What the children say?
Skip a rope
And mommy and daddy are who's to blame
Just listen to your 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

I had to look up these lyrics after listening to Logan Ledger's cover version several times. Glad to see it's about the importance of parents being mindful of what they say in front of their children. A good reminder for me, a parent of a rather impressionable kid. The lyrics can definitely be jarring if you don't take the time to take them all in.
