  • Verse 1

    Well, 
    my appetite, 

    it 
    ain't a- working 
    right 

    And my 
    heart keeps 
    skippin' 
    time 

    Oh, 
    misery! 
    It's 
    killin' 
    me, in 

    this old 
    soul of 
    mine 

    One 
    thing I'm 

    sure: penicillin won't cure 

    And I've 
    got it, 
    Verse 2
    I got 
    the 
    petticoat 
    fever 

    And 
    it's makin' 
    believ
    er, 
    out 
    of me 

    get it, 
    ever' 
    time I 
    leave 
    'er 

    And 
    the petticoat 
    fever, 
    boy 
    it's killin' 
    me 

    Verse 3
    sen
    t for the 
    doctor 
    to come 

    And he 
    took one 
    look at my 
    tongue 

    But when I 
    told him 
    what I had 
    done 

    He said 
    to 
    me... 

    Said, 
    boy, you've 
    got it, 
    Verse 4

    you got 
    the petticoat 
    fever 

    And 
    it's makin' 
    be
    liever, 

    out o' 
    me 

    Interlude 1





    Verse 5
    Well, I've 
    got it, 

    I got 
    the petticoat 
    fever 

    An' ever' 
    time 
    leave 'er, 

    I get 
    a brand new 
    case 

    When 
    I'm with her, 

    I walk 
    the streets 
    of 
    glory 

    But this 
    petticoat 
    story, 

    that's 
    like that 
    other place 

    spent my 
    very last 
    cent 
    That 
    Verse 6

    I'd saved 
    for payin' 
    my rent 

    Just to 
    buy me 
    an oxygen 
    tent 

    Here's what 
    learned... 

    Verse 7
    You can't 
    cure it, 
    not 
    the petticoat 
    fever 

    And 
    it's makin' 
    a be
    liever, 

    out 
    o' 
    me 

    Interlude 2



    Well, 
    I've 
    got it, 
    Verse 8

    I got 
    the petticoat 
    fever 

    And it's 
    makin' 
    a be
    liever, 
    out 
    o' 
    me 

    Man, that 
    pet
    ticoat 
    fever
    , it's 
    killin' 
    me!

    • 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.
