[Chorus]
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 should a 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 neighbor 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.
