Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All over the world high school girls

Take to the ropes and turn 'em slow

Starts a beat and a loop

They skip and jump through the hoop

They might break, and they might fall

But the girls from New York City don't

They just start again, start again

Hey, Ebo, Ebonettes

[Verse 2]

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

[Verse 3]

The Golden Angels

Oh, The Ford Green Angels

Oh, The Five Town Diamond Skippers

Yeah, The Pleasure of Rope Rippers

Ooh, those Dark and Lovely Skippers

Mmm, those Five Town Diamond Skippers

The skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

[Verse 4]

Skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

Skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

Skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

[Verse 5]

Hey, swing those ropes round and round

All the teams change your partners now

Somersault through the hoop

Leap to beat the clicks that keep on coming

Hey, watch your feet

To win the double dutch, stay jumping

Hey, Ebo, Ebonettes

[Verse 6]

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

[Verse 7]

Oh, The Mighty Motion Skippers

Oh, The Pleasure of Rope Rippers

Oh, The Dark and Lovely Skippers

Oh, The Mighty Motion Skippers

[Verse 8]

The skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

[Verse 9]

Skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

Skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

Skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

Skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

Skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

Skip they dos, the double dutch

That's them dancing

[Verse 10]

Hey girls, how many skips can you do?

[Verse 11]

All over the world high school girls

Take to the ropes and turn 'em slow

It starts a beat and a loop

They skip and jump through the hoop

They might break, and they might fall

But, you know, the girls from New York City don't

They just start again, start again

Hey, Ebo, Ebonettes

[Verse 12]

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes

Hey, Ebo, Ebo, Ebonettes
