Skip Rope Scat is an original playground rhyme-inspired song from the Games showtape.
Lyrics[]
All: Skip rope... scat!
Munch: Ha, I don't know what you're talkin' about!
Jasper: Well, we might've guessed that you were never a world champion jump roper.
Chuck E.: Munch, wherever there's a can being kicked, a rope being jumped, or a ball being bounced...
All: Kids'll be doin' some skip rope scat!
Chuck E.: Skip rope scat, something you can do
Most kids scat by the age of two (Munch: Oh, yeah?)
If you like to play, I'd like to scat with you
Chuck E. and the kids: Skip rope, skip rope scat!
Helen: Down by the ocean, down by the sea,
Johnny broke a bottle and blamed it on me.
I told Ma, she told Pa,
Kids: Johnny got a spanking so ha ha ha!
Jasper: Little Sally Walter sittin' in a saucer,
Cryin' and weepin' for someone to come.
Kids: Rise up, Sally, wipe away your tears!
Pasqually: Turn to the east, Sally, turn to the west,
Turn to the one that you love best!
All: Skip rope scat, something you can do
Most kids scat by the age of two
If you like to play, I'd like to scat with you
Skip rope, skip rope scat!
Chuck E.: Engine, engine number nine,
Going down Chicago line
If the train goes off the track,
You're the one to bring it back!
Munch and girls: Yes!
Boys: No!
Munch and girls: Yes!
Boys: No!
Helen and Pasqually: The sky is blue, how old are you? (Munch laughs)
Kids: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
Kids: London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady. (Munch: I know this one!)
Take a key and lock her up,
Lock her up, lock her up,
Take a key and lock her up,
My fair lady.
All: Skip rope scat, something you can do
Most kids scat by the age of two
If you like to play, I'd like to scat with you
Skip rope, skip rope scat!
Helen and girls: Girl scouts, girl scouts, dressed in blue,
These are the motions you must do
Stand attention, stand at ease
Bend your elbows, bend your knees
Chuck E. and boys: Salute to the Captain,
Helen and girls: Bow to the Queen
All: Turn your back on the Yellow Submarine
I can do the heel-toe, I can do the splits
I can do the wiggle waggle, just like this!
Munch: Yeah-heh-heh, I can do two of that! (laughs)
All: Skip rope scat, something you can do
Most kids scat by the age of two
If you like to play, I'd like to scat with you
Skip rope, skip rope scat!
Munch: I get it now! I wanna try! C'mon, I wanna do it!
Pasqually: Well, Mr. Munch, you just need to be careful.
Munch: Okay, here we go!
Helen: Just because you know the rhymes doesn't mean you're going to be any better at jumping rope!! Careful!!
Chuck E.: Munch, careful!!!
(All shouting warnings; Munch laughs after getting tangled in the rope)
