    Verse 1
    One 
    thing 

    always 
    leads 
    to 
    another 

    In 
    life 
    and 
    love 
    they say. 

    You 
    got 
    too 
    close 
    and 
    now 

    That 
    boy's 
    gonna 
    make 
    you 
    rue 
    the 
    day. 

    You 
    grab 
    his 
    ankles 
    when 
    he flies, 

    Catch 
    him 
    when 
    he falls. 

    Here's 
    the 
    thing 
    to 
    say 
    to 
    him 

    Be
    fore 
    you 
    climb 
    the 
    walls: 

    Verse 2
    Said 
    shame, 
    shame 
    on 
    you, 

    you 
    Bad 
    Monkey! 

    One 
    day 
    you're 
    up, 

    next 
    day 
    you're down, 

    Why 
    do 
    you monkey 
    my 
    heart 
    around? 

    Said 
    shame, 
    shame 
    on 
    you, 

    you 
    Bad 
    Monkey! 

    I'm 
    not 
    comin' 
    on 
    the 
    roller 

    Interlude 1
    coaster 
    with 
    you. 


    Verse 3
    I see 
    your 
    nerves 
    are jangled, 
    honey, 

    You're 
    a 
    walking 
    emotional 
    wreck. 

    He's 
    dealing 
    you 
    some 
    jokers 

    Off 
    the bot
    tom 
    of 
    the deck. 

    He 
    goes 
    from 
    joy 
    to suicide 

    About 
    15 times 
    a 
    day. 

    Here's 
    the 
    thing 
    to 
    scream 
    out 
    loud 

    From 
    100 miles 
    away. 

    Verse 4
    Said 
    shame, 
    shame 
    on 
    you, 

    you 
    Bad 
    Monkey! 

    One 
    day 
    you're 
    up, 

    next 
    day 
    you're 
    down, 

    Why 
    do you 
    monkey 
    my 
    heart 
    around? 

    I said 
    shame, 
    shame 
    on 
    you, 

    you 
    Bad 
    Monkey! 

    I'm 
    not 
    comin' 
    on 
    the 
    roller 
    coaster 
    with 
    you. 

    Interlude 2





    Verse 5
    Where's 
    the joy 
    in 
    a 
    boy 
    who 
    dribbles 

    When 
    he drinks 
    his 
    tea. 

    I've 
    seen 
    better 
    manners 
    from 

    A 
    baby 
    chimpanzee. 

    On 
    fairground rides 
    you 
    grip 
    the sides, 

    And 
    scream 
    un
    til 
    you're 
    blue. 

    You'll 
    be screaming 
    the 
    rest 
    of 
    your 
    life 

    If 
    he 
    gets 
    hold 
    with 
    you. 

    Verse 6
    Said 
    shame, 
    shame 
    on 
    you, 

    you 
    Bad 
    Monkey! 

    One 
    day 
    you're 
    up 
    next 

    day 
    you're 
    down, 

    Why 
    do you 
    monkey 
    my 
    heart 
    around? 

    I said 
    shame, 
    shame 
    on 
    you, 

    you 
    Bad 
    Monkey! 

    I'm 
    not 
    comin' 
    on 
    the 
    roller 

    coaster 
    with 
    you. 

    Verse 7

    Shame, 
    shame, 
    shame, 

    Shame, 
    shame 
    on 
    you, 
    you 
    Bad 
    Monkey! 

    One 
    day 
    you're 
    up 
    next 

    day 
    you're 
    down, 

    Why 
    do you 
    monkey 
    my 
    heart 
    around? 

    I said 
    shame, 
    shame 
    on 
    you, 

    you 
    Bad 
    Monkey! 

    I'm 
    not 
    comin' 
    on 
    the 

    roller 
    coaster 
    with 
    you. 

    I said 
    I'm 
    not 
    comin' 
    on 

    the roller 
    coaster 
    with you. 

    No, 
    no, 
    no, 

    I'm 
    not 
    comin' 
    on 
    the 
    roller 
    coaster 
    with 
    you.

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
