    Verse 1
    Little 
    black 
    girl 
    in a 
    red 
    dress, 

    On a 
    hot 
    night 
    with 

    a broken 
    shoe. 

    Little 
    black 
    girl you 
    shouldn't 

    never 
    left 
    home, 

    There's 
    probably 
    someone 
    that's 

    still 
    wait
    ing 
    up 
    for 
    you. 

    It's 
    cold 
    back 
    in 
    Chicago, 


    But 
    Los Angeles' street's 
    worse, 

    When all 
    you got 
    is 
    $29.00 and an 

    alligator 
    purse! 

    Verse 2
    You'll see 
    that 
    vulture 
    in the 
    Fleetwood, 


    With the 
    chartreuse 
    hood! 


    It's 
    time 
    to get 
    your bear
    ings 

    and say 
    hey 
    baby: 

    Which 
    way's 
    to the Main 
    Stem? 

    And 
    where 
    ever 
    you say 
    you're 
    from, 


    Say 
    you grew 
    up there 
    yourself 

    Say, 
    come 
    on, 

    you 
    grew 
    up 
    right 
    next 
    door 
    to 
    him: 

    Take 
    the left 
    on 
    Central 

    And throw 
    it in 
    reverse: 

    Cause you 
    only 
    got 
    $29.00 and 

    an 
    alligator 
    purse! 

    Verse 3

    And 
    he'll come 
    on 
    just 

    like a gentleman 

    And you'll 
    be a little 
    shy! 

    You 
    say 
    your 
    ex 
    old man 

    was 
    a sax 
    player 

    He'll say 
    baby 
    I used 
    to 

    play 
    bass 
    with 
    Sly! 

    And 
    you 
    say 
    you like 
    his 
    Cadillac, 


    Say honey 
    I got 
    two 
    or three! 

    He'll say: Sweetheart 

    you're 
    sure 
    fortunate 

    That 
    you 
    ran 
    in
    to 
    me! 

    When 

    you've done a 
    dime 
    in the 
    joint! 

    You 
    figure 
    nothin' 
    could be 
    worse: 

    And 
    you got $29.00 in an 

    alligator 
    purse! 

    Verse 4

    Well: He got 
    Pharaoh 
    on 

    the eight 
    track 

    You start 
    smokin' 
    a little 
    boo! 

    You 
    thinking 
    gettin' 

    out 
    of 
    Chicago 
    was the 

    Best 
    thing 
    ever 
    happened 

    to you! 

    He's starting 
    like 
    a dog 
    rhythm 

    And the 
    cats 
    seem to 
    be cool! 

    He says: 
    Baby, 

    I know 
    a good 
    ol' 
    jailhouse 

    In West 
    Hollywood 

    that's 
    just 
    right 
    for 
    you! 

    But 
    he ain't 
    no 
    good Samaritan, 


    He'll make 
    sure 
    you're 
    reimbursed!! 

    A lot 
    more 
    than 
    $29.00 and an 
    alligator 
    purse! 

    Interlude 1





    Verse 5
    Now 
    when the streets 
    get 
    hungry, 
    baby, 

    You 
    can 
    almost 
    hear 
    them 

    growl! 

    Someone's 
    setting 
    place 
    for you, 

    When 
    the dog
    begin 
    to 

    howl! 

    Verse 6
    Well: The streets 
    are 
    dead 
    they creep. 

    It was 
    left 
    on 
    the 
    pole! 

    They make 
    that the suckers 

    always 
    make 
    mistakes 

    When 
    they're far 
    away 
    from 

    home! 

    Chicken 
    in 
    a pot 

    Whoever 
    gets 
    their 
    first 

    Gonna 
    get 
    himself 
    $29.00 and an 

    alligator 
    purse! 

    Now, for 
    Verse 7
    the sirens 

    it's just 
    an epi
    logue 

    The 
    cops 
    always 

    get there 
    too 
    late! 

    They always 
    stop 
    for 
    coffee 

    On 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    the 
    scene 

    of the 
    crime! 

    They always 
    try 
    so 
    hard 
    to look 
    like 
    movie 
    stars, 


    They couldn't 
    catch 
    a cold! 

    Baby: don't 
    waste 
    your 
    dime 

    You're 
    lucky 
    to 
    be alive! 

    The 
    doc
    tor 
    whispered 
    to the 
    nurse: 

    She only 
    lost 
    half 
    pint 
    of blood! 

    $29.00 and an 
    alligator 
    purse!

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
