Verse 1
G
How can you do it? It's heartless,
it's cruel.
It's murder, cold- blooded,
D
G
it's gross.
To slay a poor vegetable just for your stew
A
Or to serve with some cheese
D
sauce on toast.
Have you no decency?
G
Have you no shame?
D
G
Have you no conscience, you cad,
C
G
To rip that poor vegetable out of the earth
Em
A
Away from it's poor
D
mom and dad?
G
CHORUS:
Oh, no, don't slay that potato!
D
Let us be merciful, please.
Don't boil it or fry it,
G
E
don't even freeze- dry it.
A
Don't slice it or flake it.
D
For God's sake,
don't bake it!
G
Don't she'd the poor blood
Of this poor helpless spud.
That's the worst kind
C
of thing you could do.
G
Oh, no, don't slay that potato

Verse 2
G
Why not try picking on
something your size
D
G
Instead of some carrot or bean?
The peas are all trembling
there in their pod
A
Just because you're so
D
vicious and mean.
How would you like to be
G
grabbed by your hair
D
G
And ruthlessly yanked from your bed
C
And have done to you God knows
G
what horrible things,

D
G
You're basically stuck in the mud.
You don't get around much. You don't
see the sights
A
When you're a carrot or
D
celery or spud.
You're helpless when somebody's
G
flea- bitten dog
D
Takes a notion to pause
G
for relief.
C
Then somebody picks you
G
and cleans you and eats you
E

And causes you nothing but grief.

Well, potatoes are ugly.

Potatoes are plain.

We're wrinkled and lumpy to boot.

But give me a break,

kid. Do you mean to say

we're not cute?

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
