Skip a rope ... Skip a rope ...
 A                       A*       F#m
Listen to the children while they play ...
      A                            F#m

Last night you shoulda heard the fight they had ...

Gave little sister another bad dream ...
     A                     F#m
She woke us all up with a terrible scream;

[Verse]
 A                    A*        F#m
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool ...
     A                               F#m
Now what was that they said about a Golden Rule ...
 A                     A*          F#m
Never mind the rules, just play to win ...
     A                         F#m
And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin;
 
[Chorus]
        A               E
Skip a rope ... Skip a rope ...
     A                       A*       F#m
Ah, listen to the children while they play ...
      A                            F#m
Now, ain't it kinda funny what the children say ...

[Verse]
 A                                A*         F#m
Stab 'em in the back, that's the name of the game ...
     A (1 strum)        F#m (1 strum)
But Mommy and Daddy are who's to blame ...
 
[Chorus]
        A               E
Skip a rope ... Skip a rope ...
 A                        A*       F#m
Listen to your children while they play ...
    A (1 strum)               F#m (1 strum)
It ain't very funny what the children say ...
        A    A*  G*         A
Skip a rope ...     Skip a rope ...
 A*  G*         A
       Skip a rope ...
