Double Dutch

I tried to jump and I realized I was good at it

Let me set a scene, let me play
No one going out of time
You're better affected by the words that you sing
See her jump over the line

She jumps the ropes
It's all they do
She jumps the ropes
The whole day through

Doing double dutch, and since I'm always a
Curious little girl, always wanna try new things
I tried to jump and I realized I was good at it

With my friends
Jumping on the pavement
With my friends
Jumping till the end

See them on the corner every day
At sundown by the street lights
Sipping sugar out of straws, making braids
Making sure their shoes are tight

She jumps the ropes
It's all they do
She jumps the ropes
The whole day through

My name is Catherine Rocha and I'm nineteen years old
I'm part of the St. Pepper's Steppers, I've
Been jumping ever since I was ten years old
I learned how to jump by the street game of double dutch

She's a concrete flower
You should get away

With my friends
Jumping on the pavement
With my friends
Jumping till the end
With my friends
Jumping on the pavement
With my friends
Jumping till the end
With my friends
Jumping on the pavement
With my friends
Jumping till the end
