Skip Rope Song

Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Skip Rope Song [Intro]        [Verse 1] I used to know a pretty girl Who cut off all her hair The scissors flew among the curls And curls went everywhere [Verse 2] I gathered up the fallen locks And carried them away And put them in a silver box And keep them to this day [Chorus] Song sing birdie-with-a-wing Perfect circle sun The grown-ups get to make the rules And we have all the fun And we have all the fun         [Verse 3] And now I am in love with you And hope that you will stay And to prove that my love is true I’ll throw the curls away [Verse 4] And now I am in love with you And hope that you will stay And to prove that my love is true I’ll throw the curls away And to prove that my love is true I’ll throw the curls away [Instrumental]                [Chorus] Song sing birdie-with-a-wing Perfect circle sun The grown-ups get to make the rules And we have all the fun And we have all the fun
