Skip A Rope

     (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.
