The song is about what the kids have learned and heard from their parents and how they use it while playing games. You find out that the parents fight with each other, and that they should cheat and hate anyone who has different colored skin. The song tells about how the kids are learning to be like their parents. I really like this song too...it's one of my favorites.

Henson Cargill - Skip a rope

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.
refrain

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.

refrain

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.

The Kentucky Headhunters did a remake which is awesome

i remember that song when i was a kid in the sixty's. it even fits families of today, George Jones even did a cover of it,
