    Just 
    knocking 
    around 
    the zoo 

    On 
    a Thursday 
    afternoon, 

    There's 
    bars 
    on 
    all 
    the windows 

    And 
    they're 
    counting 
    up 
    the spoons, 

    yeah. 

    And 
    if 
    I'm 
    feeling 
    edgy, 

    There's 
    chick 
    who's 
    paid 

    To be my 
    slave, 
    yeah, 
    watch 
    out James. 

    But 
    she'll 
    hit 
    me 
    with 
    a needle 

    If she 
    thinks 
    I'm 
    trying 

    to mis
    behave. 

    Verse 2

    Now 
    the keep
    er's 
    trying 
    to cool 
    me 

    Says 
    I'm 
    bound 
    to be 
    all 
    right, 

    But I 
    know 
    that 
    he can't 
    fool 
    me 

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    putting 
    him 
    uptight, 
    yeah. 

    And 
    I can 
    feel 
    him 
    getting 
    edgy 

    Every 
    time 
    I make 
    sudden 
    move, 

    Whoa, yes 
    it's 
    true. 

    And 
    can 
    hear 
    them celebrating 

    Every 
    time 
    I up 
    and leave 

    the room. 

    Verse 3

    Now 




    my 
    friends 
    all come 
    to see 
    me, 

    They just 
    point 
    at me 
    and 
    stare. 

    Said, 
    he's 
    just 
    like 
    the rest 
    of us 

    So 
    what's 
    he 
    doing 
    there? 

    They 
    hide 
    in 
    their 
    movie 
    theaters 

    Drinking 
    juice, 
    keeping 
    tight, 

    Watch 
    that 
    bright 
    light. 

    'Cause 
    they're 
    cer
    tain 

    about 
    one 
    thing, 
    babe, 

    That 
    zoo's no 
    place 
    to spend 
    the night, 

    no. 

    Verse 4
    Just 
    knocking 
    around 
    the zoo 

    On 
    a Thursday 
    afternoon, 

    There's

    • 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.
