    • Verse 1
    Hey, 
    folks, 
    how 
    about that 
    band? 

    Are we 
    lucky they 
    got pinned 

    down by 
    mortar fire 
    or what? 

    Really, 
    fellas, 
    my 
    leg's 
    off to you. 

    And 
    what 
    a 
    night, 
    huh? 

    Christmas 
    eve in 

    Tikrit, 
    lit 
    up like a 

    Macy's 
    window. 

    And that's 
    just me. 

    And 
    we're 
    lucky tonight, 

    ladies and 
    gentlemen, to 
    have a 
    crooner in 
    the crowd. 

    Johnny, 
    why don't you 
    come up here? 

    You 
    know who 
    I'm talking 
    about folks. 

    Come 
    on, 
    let's make him 

    feel welcome. 

    Come on. 

    Folks, 
    I 
    give you 

    Johnny. 

    Thank 
    you, 

    Skippy. 

    I 
    won't 
    be 
    home 
    for 

    Christmas. 

    Don't 
    set 
    a 
    place 
    for 
    me. 

    Have 
    my 
    share 
    of 
    good 
    times 
    there 

    While 
    I'm 
    across 
    the 
    sea 

    If 
    you 
    should 
    pray 
    at 
    mid
    night 

    Pray 
    for 
    my 
    soul 
    to 
    keep 

    I'd 
    dream 
    of you 
    on 

    Christmas 

    But 
    I'm 
    afraid 
    to 
    fall 
    asleep

    You 
    know, 
    if 
    I was home, 

    I'd 
    have the love 
    of a 
    good woman. 

    And 
    who 
    needs 
    that, 

    when 
    you've got 
    the adoration 
    of a 
    grate
    ful 

    Iraqi people? 

    I'd 
    be with 
    my little 
    baby daughter, 

    but 
    her mom told 
    her not 
    to talk 
    to strangers. 

    I'd 
    be 
    with all 
    the people 
    I love. 

    My recruit
    er, 
    he 
    drives 
    a 

    Hummer, 
    too. 

    My 
    senator. 

    He's 
    got 
    a 
    son my 
    age 

    who 
    just bailed 
    out of 
    a 

    DUI. 

    Because 
    freedom 
    is
    n't free. 

    And 
    my 
    mom. 
    I 
    can see 

    her answer
    ing 
    the door. 

    And 
    the 
    guy 
    says, 

    Ma 'am, 
    I'm 
    happy to 
    report 

    we saved 
    your tax 
    cut. 

    Here's 
    a thousand 
    dollars 
    in a 

    shoebox 
    with your boy 
    in it. 

    No, 
    I'm glad 
    to be here. 

    Defeating 

    Osama 
    bin 

    Laden. 

    Osama 

    Bin 

    Laden, 
    he was 
    the guy who... 

    Oh, 
    never 
    mind. 

    So 
    this one 
    goes 
    out to 

    all those 
    balding 
    billionaires 

    in 
    that neocon 
    think tank 
    who love 
    me. 

    Thank 

    God 
    they 
    never served 
    in the 
    military 

    or 
    I 
    wouldn't be 
    here tonight. 

    And 
    if I should 
    die, 

    and 
    the devil is 
    standing 

    there with 
    his clipboard, 

    he's 
    gonna say, 

    you 
    spent 

    Christmas 
    in

    Tikrit? 

    I 
    can't 
    beat that, 
    get the hell 
    out of here. 

    I 
    dream 
    of 
    you 
    on 

    Christmas 

    But 
    I'm 
    afraid 
    to 
    fall 
    asleep

      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.
