    Verse 1

    Don't 
    look 
    at me 
    don't 
    touch 
    me 

    Keep 
    your mind 
    straight 
    ahead 

    Don't 
    get 
    no funny 
    ideas 
    about 
    we 

    Or 
    you'll wish 
    you 
    were dead 

    That's 
    what 
    I am thinking 

    she 
    must 
    be 
    thinking 

    The girl 
    I spent 
    fifty 
    three 
    bucks 
    on 
    last 
    night 

    She give 
    me 
    look 
    from 

    the corner 
    of 
    her eye 

    That 
    says, 
    "Boy, 
    keep 
    acting 
    right" 

    How 
    surprised 
    was 

    When 
    she 
    leaned 
    over 
    and 

    whispered 
    in 
    my 
    ear 

    Get 
    a leg 
    up 
    Verse 2

    Get 
    a leg 
    over 
    boy 

    Get 
    a leg 
    up 

    What's 
    the matter 

    Are 
    you shy, 
    shy, 
    shy? 

    Verse 3
    I'm 
    pretty 
    good 
    with first 
    impressions 

    But 
    sometimes 
    I'm 
    not 
    always 
    right 

    I pulled 
    the car 
    to 
    the shoulder 
    of 
    the road 

    To see 
    what 
    she 
    had 
    in 
    mind 

    Want 
    me to spend 
    the night 

    Hey 
    lov
    er 
    boy 
    you 
    know 
    will 

    And 
    my 
    best 
    girlfriend 
    lives 

    down 
    the 
    road 

    To
    gether 
    we 
    will 
    thrill 
    ya 

    And 
    I'm 
    thinking 
    to 
    myself 

    could 
    be 
    lucky 
    Pierre 
    tonight 

    If I 
    could 
    get 
    a leg 
    up
    Verse 4

    If 
    could 
    get a 
    leg 
    over 
    boy 

    You 
    know 
    ain't 
    that 
    handsome 

    But 
    you know 
    ain't 
    shy, 
    shy, 
    shy 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    The rest 
    of the night 

    we went 
    on 
    and 
    on 

    And 
    the moral 
    to 
    this 
    song 

    Don't 
    go 
    making 
    hasty 
    judgements 

    Because 
    sometimes 
    they 

    could 
    be 
    wrong 

    Nothing 
    wrong 
    with 
    a good 
    time 

    Just 
    keep 
    yourself 

    protected 
    make 
    a list 

    And 
    you 
    can 
    bet 
    your 
    life 
    that 

    the women 
    don´t know 

    The 
    little 
    girls 
    are 
    acting 
    like 
    this 

    So 
    the nex
    time 
    young 
    one 
    moves 
    up 

    And 
    she 
    whispers 
    in 
    your 
    ear 

    Verse 6
    Get 
    leg 
    up

    Get a 
    leg 
    over 
    boy 

    Get 
    leg 
    up

    What's 
    the 
    matter 

    Now 
    don't 
    you 
    be 
    shy, 
    shy, 

    shy? 

    Verse 7

    Get 
    leg 
    up

    Get 

    leg over 
    boy 

    Get 
    a leg 
    up

    What's the 
    matter 

    Now 
    don't 
    you 
    be 
    shy, 

    shy, 
    shy?

    • 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.
