    Verse 1
    Rockin' 
    in 
    the 
    Congo 

    Rock
    in' 
    in 
    the 
    Congo 

    Listen 
    to 
    the 
    lingo, 
    better 
    start 
    to 
    swing 

    So 
    rock
    in' 
    in 
    the 
    Congo 

    In 
    the 
    African 
    jungle, 
    way 
    down 
    deep 

    All 
    of 
    the 
    animals 
    fast 
    asleep 

    native 
    boy 
    who 
    was 
    kept 
    to 
    the jive 

    Said 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    make 
    the 

    jungle 
    poppin' 
    alive 

    Beatin' 
    on 
    the 
    drum 
    in 
    his 
    native 
    style 

    You 
    could 
    hear 
    his 
    rhythm 

    up 
    and 
    down 
    the 
    Nile 

    lion 
    woke 
    up 
    and 
    he 
    let 
    out 
    roar 

    Said, 
    think 
    I've 
    heard 
    that 
    beat 
    before 

    monkey 
    swung 
    down 

    from 
    howl 
    of 
    limbs 

    Said, 
    feel 
    that 
    rhythm 
    deep 
    within 

    An 
    antelope 
    jumped 
    from 
    behind 
    tree 

    Said, 
    it 
    sure 
    sounds 
    mighty 
    fine 
    to 
    me 

    An 
    elephant 
    shook 
    his 
    mighty 
    snout 

    Said, 
    what's 
    this 
    racket 
    all 
    about? 

    hyena 
    laughed, 
    said, 

    nothing's 
    wrong 

    We're 
    gonna 
    rock 
    the 
    Congo 

    all 
    night 
    long 

    Rockin' 
    in 
    the 
    Congo 

    Rock
    in' 
    in the 
    Congo 

    Listen 
    to 
    the 
    lingo 

    Bet
    ter 
    start 
    to 
    swing 

    So 
    rock
    in' 
    in 
    the 
    Congo 

    -Wa, 
    -Wa, 
    -Wa, 

    -Wa 


    Well, 
    an alligator 
    crawled 

    from 
    his 
    watery 
    bed 

    Turned 
    to 
    the 
    kempo 
    and 

    here's 
    what 
    he said 

    Said, 
    jump 
    that 
    boy, 
    it's 
    time 
    to 
    swing 

    Can't 
    you 
    hear 
    that 
    rhythm 
    ring? 

    An 
    ostrich 
    pat 
    his 
    head 
    in 
    the 
    ground 

    Until 
    he 
    heard 
    that 
    rocking 
    sound 

    He 
    star
    ted to 
    sing 
    with 
    go 
    -man 
    go 

    Then 
    he 
    woke 
    up 
    the 
    buffalo 

    zebra 
    called 
    to 
    slick 
    kudu 

    Said, 
    this 
    is 
    the 
    beat 
    for 
    me 
    and 
    you 

    None 
    of 
    the 
    animals 
    had 
    clock 

    But 
    everybody 
    knew 
    it 
    was 
    time 
    to 
    rock 

    Across 
    the 
    plains 
    and 
    high 
    on 
    hill 

    Noth
    in' 
    in 
    the 
    jungle 
    could 
    keep 
    still 

    The 
    day 
    before 
    was 
    -goin' 
    strong 

    And 
    they 
    rocked 
    the 
    Congo 

    all 
    night 
    long 

    Rockin' 
    in 
    the 
    Congo, 

    rock
    in' 
    in 
    the 
    Congo 

    Listen 
    to 
    the 
    lingo, 
    better 
    start 
    to 
    swing 

    So 
    we're 
    rockin' 
    in 
    the 
    Congo, 

    rock
    in' 
    in 
    the 
    Congo, 

    baby, 
    all 
    night 
    long.

    • 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.
