[Chorus]
A
Skip a rope
E
Skip a rope
A F#m
Oh, listen to the children while they play
A F#m
Now, ain't it kinda funny what the children say
A
Skip a rope
[Verse 1]
A F#m
Daddy hates Mommy, Mommy hates Dad
A F#m
Last night you shoulda heard the fight they had
A F#m
Gave little sister another bad dream
A F#m
She woke us all up with a terrible scream
[Chorus]
A
Skip a rope
E
Skip a rope
A F#m
Oh, listen to the children while they play
A F#m
Now, ain't it kinda funny what the children say
A
Skip a rope
[Riff]

[Verse 2]
A F#m
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
A F#m
Now what was that they said about a Golden Rule
A F#m
Never mind the rules, just play to win
A F#m
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin
[Chorus]
A
Skip a rope
E
Skip a rope
A F#m
Oh, listen to the children while they play
A F#m
Now, ain't it kinda funny what the children say
A
Skip a rope
[Bridge]
A F#m
Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of the game
A N.C. F#m
And Mommy and Daddy are who's to blame
[Chorus]
A
Skip a rope
E
Skip a rope
A F#m
Just listen to your children while they play
A N.C. F#m
It's really not very funny what the children say
[Outro]
A
Skip a rope
A
Skip a rope
A
Skip a rope
A
Skip a rope
A
Skip a rope
