Three kids playing' on a vacant lot,

Jumping' jumprope for all they got

Down the road comes Samantha Sue:

"I like to jump rope. Can I jump, too?"



Sorry, Sammy, no can do.

There's only one rope.

No room for you.



Chorus:

"Please" No.

"Please" No.

"Pretty please" No!

"Pretty, pretty please." Oh OK.



We'll have ta-

Double up, double up

Two are in the middle

Double up, double up

Ropa-dopalong

Double up, double up

Two can play the fiddle

Double dutch, double clutch, sing the song



Charlie Chaplin sat on a pin

How many inches did it go in?

One two three four five six seven...wait



Who's this bouncin' on down the bricks?

It's Ben and Jerry on pago sticks

"We wanna jump too. It looks like fun"

Sorry, fellas. Can't be done



Chorus



We'll have ta-

Double up, double up

Now there's four a-jumpin'

Double up, double up

Ropa-doalong

Double up, double up

Now we're doin' somethin'

Double dutch, double pump, double clutch, double jump.

Singin' this double up song:



Anna Bananna

Played the piana

All she could play was Star Spangled Banner

Two quarts of Crisco

Cookin' in a pot

H-O-T spells hot!



Double quick double time

Hot and peppery

Double dip, double flip.

Double jeopardy

OK, that's enough!



Grits and gravy. Bagels and lox.

How many weeks since you changed your socks?

One two three four five six...oh.



Four more kids come out on the stoop

It's Bernadette and he doo-wop group

"We wanna jump, too. Is that all right?"

Forget it, Bernie. It's too tight!



Chorus



We'll have ta-

Double up, double up

Eight are in the middle

Double up, double up

Thank you very much!

Double up, double up

Eight are on the fiddle

Singin' this double up double up song:



Sugar is sweet. Pepper is hot

How many heads has your brother got?

One two three four five six...rats!



The Dallas Cowboys were passing by.

And they decided they'd like to try.

"Sorry, Cowboys, what can I say?

A football team? There's just now way."



Chorus



We'll have ta-

Double up, double up

Sixty eight are jumpin'.

Double up, double up

Thank you very much!

Double up double up

This is somethin'!

Double dutch, double pump, double clutch, double jump,

Double up-times two.



Pepper is hot. Sugar is sweet

Tell me the size of your mother's feet.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

nine, ten...
