I was walking , talking today
A little girl came skipping my way
Reciting some silly nonsense song
Wasn't long before she was gone
skip a rope
A good friend in the middle of the night
rang up involved with her plight
On her behalf could I say a few words
Why of course and now they are heard
skip a rope
Then when the sun comes out to play
We all perk up and listen to him say
We all smile from deeply inside
From within the sunshine can't hide
skip a rope
And with sadness you have to go
Across the ocean so far it's so
But when you land you extend your hand
from there to here and back again
skip a rope

And with sadness you have to go
Across the ocean so far it's so
But when you land you extend your hand
