Double Up

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...
