CHORUS:
Skip a [A] Rope ... Skip a [E] Rope ...
Oh, [A] listen to the children while they [F#] play ...
Now, [A] ain't it kinda funny what the [F#] children say ...
Skip a [A] Rope ...

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

[CHORUS]

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

[CHORUS]

[A] Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of the [F#] game ...
And [A] Mommy and Daddy are [F#] who's to blame ...
Skip a [A] Rope ... Skip a [E] Rope ...

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