Skip a Rope Songtext
von George Jones

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

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


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 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 the children
While they play
It's really not funny
What the children say

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Skip a rope
Skip a rope
