Verse 1
G

Oh my goodness.

Ralph, what are those creepy,

slimy, crawly things?

Margaret, they look like salamanders.

They got luggage with them.

They're coming out of the swamp. I think

they're moving into the neighborhood.

I'm calling the police!

Now relax.

Relax.

Hello?

Officer?

breakfast on it

One of the salamander kids

Was just about my age

But when the salamander
C

took me swimming

In the mud in the hallway by the den

That's when we both
C

started laughing
D

That's when we became best friends

When I got to know him better

He turned out to be quite sweet

You shouldn't judge a friend

By how he looks or by what he eats

When he invited me to his house
D

He said I simply had to try
G
C

A piece of grass, half a foot
D

For a bite of a roasted fly

Disgusting!
G
C

I popped a fly right in my mouth
G

It was crunchy and not too bad

I made him into an old fairy man
D

To bring one home to dad

about a week or two ago.

My folks, they said he was well behaved,

bees, yes and thank you, no.

Then he asked to use the bathroom.

I thought I knew the reason why
G

You had to jump into the tub

Cause the skin wasn't getting dry

Well ever since that 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.
