    Verse 1
    Now 
    you've 
    all 
    heard 

    foolish 
    questions 
    and 

    No 
    doubt 
    you've 
    wondered 
    why 

    Some 
    person 
    will 
    ask 
    foolish 
    ques
    tion 

    And 
    expect 
    sensible 
    reply 

    Like 
    when 
    you 
    take your 
    girl 
    some 
    candy 

    Say 
    maybe 
    just 
    after 
    tea 

    You 
    notice 
    how 
    she'll 
    grab 
    it 

    And 
    then 
    she'll 
    say, 

    "Is 
    this 
    for me?" 

    Verse 2
    Foolish 
    Questions! 
    You 
    can 
    answer 

    When 
    you 
    can 

    "No 
    I bought 
    this 
    candy 
    for 
    your 
    Ma or Pa 

    Or 
    for 
    John 
    the hired 
    hand 

    "I 
    just 
    thought 
    you'd 
    like 
    to see 
    it 

    Now I'm 
    gonna 
    take 
    it 
    away" 

    Now 
    wasn't 
    that 
    foolish 
    ques
    tion? 

    You'll 
    hear 
    'em 
    ev'ry 
    day 

    Verse 3

    And 
    then 
    most 
    every 
    morn
    ing 

    There 
    is 
    someone 
    'round 
    the place 

    Who 
    sees you 
    take the shaving 
    brush 

    And 
    lather 
    up your 
    face 

    And 
    as 
    you give 
    the 
    razor 

    a preliminary 
    wave 

    This 
    fool 
    will 
    walk 
    up 
    and 
    ask 
    you 

    "Are 
    you 
    gonna 
    take 
    shave?" 

    Foolish 
    questions! 
    Your 
    answer 
    is, I 
    hope 

    "No! 
    ain't 
    prepared 
    for 
    shavin' 

    just 
    like 
    the taste 
    of 
    soap! 

    kinda 
    like 
    to take 
    the shaving 

    Brush 
    and paint 
    myself 
    this 
    way" 

    Now 
    wasn't 
    that 
    a foolish 
    question? 

    You'll 
    hear 
    'em 
    ev'ry 
    day! 

    Verse 4
    Now 
    then 
    there's 
    this 
    fella 
    who 

    Meets 
    you 
    on 
    your 
    way 

    And 
    asks 
    you 
    why 
    your 
    all 
    dressed 

    Up 
    and 
    listens 
    while 
    you say 

    That 
    you just 
    been 
    returning 
    from 
    the 

    Fu
    neral 
    of 
    poor 
    old 
    Uncle 
    Ned 

    As 
    soon as 
    you have 
    told him, 

    he 
    will 
    say 

    "Is Ned 
    dead?" 

    Verse 5
    Foolish 
    ques
    tions! 
    You 

    might 
    as 
    well 
    reply 

    "No, 
    he thought 
    he'd have 
    the 
    funeral 

    Now 
    then 
    later 
    on 
    he'd 
    die 

    You 
    know 
    Ned 
    was 
    always 

    so 
    original 

    He wanted 
    it 
    that 
    way" 

    Now wasn't 
    that 
    Foolish 
    Question? 

    You'll 
    hear 
    'em 
    ev'ry 
    day! 


    Verse 6
    Now 
    suppose 
    the 
    elevator 
    guy should 

    Forget 
    to 
    close 
    the 
    door 

    And 
    you should 
    tumble 
    down 

    Oh say 
    forty-seven 
    floors 

    floors 

    And 
    when 
    you 
    reach 
    the 
    bottom 

    And 
    you're 
    ly
    ing 
    there 
    inert 

    Some 
    fool 
    will stick 
    his 
    head 

    Down 
    the shaft 
    and 
    holler, 

    "Are 
    you 
    hurt?" 

    Verse 7
    Foolish 
    Questions! 
    Your 
    dying 
    words 
    are 

    "No! 
    was 
    in 
    an 
    awful 
    hurry 

    And 
    that 
    elevator's just 
    too 
    slow 

    Usually 
    saves 
    a lot 
    of 
    time, 
    you know 

    Comin' 
    down 
    this 
    way" 

    Now wasn't 
    that 
    Foolish 
    Ques
    tion? 

    You'll 
    hear 
    'em 
    ev'ry 
    day! 

    Verse 8
    That 
    was 
    a Foolish 
    Question! 

    You'll 

    Hear 'em ev'ry day!

    • 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.
