SKIP A ROPE
Recorded by Henson Cargill
Written by Jack Moran and Glenn Tubb

Refrain:
Skip a [C] Rope ... Skip a [G] Rope ...
Oh, [C] listen to the children while they [Am] play ...
Now, [C] ain't it kinda funny what the [Am] children say ...
Skip a [C] Rope ...

Daddy hates Mommy, Mommy hates [Am] Dad ...
[C] Last night you should'a heard the [Am] fight they had ...
[C] Gave little sister another bad [Am] dream ...
She [C] woke us all up with a [Am] terrible scream;

Refrain:

[C] Cheat on your taxes, don't be a [Am] fool ...
Now [C] what was that they said about a [Am] Golden Rule ...
[C] Never mind the rule, just play to [Am] win ...
And [C] hate your neighbor for the [Am] shade of his skin;

Refrain:

[C] Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of the [Am] game ...
And [C] Mommy and Daddy are [Am] who's to blame ...
Skip a [C] Rope ... Skip a [G] Rope ...

Just [C] Listen to your children while they [Am] play ...
It's really [C] not very funny what the children say [Am] ...
Skip a [C] Rope ... [Am] ... Skip a [C] Rope ... [Am] ... [fade]
Skip a [C] Rope ... [Am] ... Skip a [C] Rope.
