Jimmy Dean

Jimmy Ray Dean (August 10, 1928 – June 13, 2010) was an American country music singer, television host, actor and businessman. Although he may be best known today as the creator of the Jimmy Dean sausage brand, he became a national television personality starting in 1957, rising to fame for his 1961 country crossover hit "Big Bad John" and his television series, The Jimmy Dean Show, which also gave puppeteer Jim Henson his first national media exposure. His acting career included a supporting role as Willard Whyte in the 1971 James Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever. He lived near Richmond, Virginia, and was nominated for the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010, although he was formally inducted posthumously. more »

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

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

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Listen to the children
While they play
Now ain't it kinda funny
What the children say

Skip a rope

Cheat on your taxes
Don't be a fool
Now what was that they said
About a golden rule?

Well, never mind the rules
Just play to win
And hate your neighbor
For the shade of his skin

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Oh, listen to the children
While they play
Now ain't it kinda funny
What the children say

Skip a rope

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 the children
While they play
It's really not funny
What the children say

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Skip a rope
Skip a rope

Skip a rope
Skip a rope
