George Jones - Skip A Rope

SKIP A ROPE
WRITERS JACK MORAN, GLENN TUBB

Oh, 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. (CHORUS) Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool, Now what was that they said about a Golden Rule? Never mind the rules, just play to win, And hate your neighbour for the shade of his skin. (CHORUS) 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 your children while they play, It's really not very funny, what the children say, Skip a rope, skip a rope.
