Skip A Rope

(альбом: Margie's At The Lincoln Park Inn - 1969)

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, skip a rope.

Daddy hates mommy, mommy hates dad
Last night you should've heard the big 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
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope, 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
Oh, listen to the children while they play
Now ain't it kinda funny what the children say
Skip a rope, 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, listen to the children while they play
Now it's not very funny what the children say
Skip a rope, skip a rope, skip a rope...
