    The 
    Continuing 
    Story 

    of the 
    Skinny 
    Little Boy 
    Shazam, 

    feelin' 
    grand, 
    guess 
    I'll mosey 
    into 
    town 

    Raise 
    hell 
    all around, 

    I'm gonna 
    have 
    good time 

    Damn, 
    you bet 
    I am 
    out 
    to 

    boogie 
    till 
    I'm 
    blind 

    I got 
    a quarter 
    dollar 
    wine, 

    get myself 
    primed 

    Run
    nin' 
    down 
    the road, 

    I got 
    the back 
    tire 
    smokin' 

    The 
    highway 
    is 
    open, 
    not 
    a cop 
    in sight 

    No 
    red 
    light 
    flashin's 
    gonna 

    hamper 
    my 
    actions 

    My 
    path 
    is clear 
    and 

    then my timing's 
    right 

    And 
    I'm 
    skinny 
    little 
    boy 

    From 
    Cleveland, 
    Ohio 

    Come 
    chase 
    your 
    women 

    And 
    drink 
    your beer 


    Second 
    gear down 
    Main 
    Street 

    And 
    roaring 
    into 
    town 

    Women, 
    grab 
    your 
    children 

    Bolt 
    the 
    doors 
    and 
    shut her 
    down 

    Peeking 
    out from 
    win
    dows 

    While the 
    men
    folk 
    pray 

    They 
    speak 
    in frightened 
    whispers 

    And 
    the weak 
    ones faint 

    Is 
    it 
    a bird? 

    Is it 
    a plane? 

    Is it 
    a demon 
    in the 
    air? 

    Or a fire 
    -breathin', 
    baby 
    -eatin', 

    mother -beatin' 
    bear? 

    Is 
    it murder

    Is it 
    rape? 

    Is it the 
    Watergate 
    tapes? 

    Or 
    mere hallucination 

    caused 
    by 
    folks from 
    outer space? 

    No, it's 
    skinny little 
    boy 

    from 
    Cleveland, 
    Ohio. 

    He's come to 
    chase 
    your 
    wo
    men 

    an
    drink your 
    beer. 

    Oh 
    my, 
    and here he 
    are, 

    you 
    see him 
    strid
    in' 
    to the 
    bar. 

    He got 
    a girl 
    on every 
    arm 

    and 
    three or 
    four to 
    spare. 

    Yeah, 
    ain't 
    he 
    neat? 

    Dressed 
    to kill from 
    head 
    to feet. 

    The 
    tavern 
    quiets 
    down 

    people 
    staring 
    disbelief 

    you got 
    chrome 
    -plated 
    platforms 

    nine 
    inches high 

    Batteries 
    in 
    the soul 

    with neon 
    lights 
    on the side 

    Pad
    ding 
    leather 
    jacket 

    with 
    a picture 
    on 
    the back 

    It's Marilyn 
    in 
    the 
    nude 

    with 
    some writing 
    on 
    her ass 

    that 
    says 
    skinny 
    little boy 
    from 
    Cleveland, 

    Ohio 

    He's 
    come 
    to chase 
    your 
    women 

    and 
    drink your 
    beer 


    stand 
    aside 
    from the 
    bar 

    if 
    you haven't 
    come 
    to 
    drink 

    throw 
    your water 
    in the 
    sink 

    you 
    give 
    me whiskey 
    in 
    my 
    glass 

    the 
    bourbon 
    tastes 
    mean but 

    it sure 
    beats 

    Lister
    ine 
    to get 
    your breath 
    twice as 

    clean 
    and 
    high twice 
    as 
    fast 

    run 
    out 
    of wild 
    turkey 

    Jack 
    Daniels 
    is fine 

    keep 
    your gin and 
    tonic 

    your old 
    rep 
    of wine 
    tequila 
    in 

    a pinch 
    or even 
    vodkas 
    alright 

    got a 
    roaring in 
    my ears 

    and I 
    got a 
    burnin' 
    in my eyes, 

    and I'm 
    skinny 
    little boy 

    From 
    Cleveland, 
    Ohio, 

    come to 
    drink 
    your wo
    men 

    And 
    chase 
    your bear 

    Well, 
    people, 

    now you 
    know my 
    story, 

    an
    d you're 
    aware of 
    my curse 

    And 
    how this 
    decent 
    model 

    cit
    izen 

    was changed 
    by 
    lust 
    and 
    thirst 

    Take 
    heed of my 
    warning, 

    you 
    walk 
    the straight 
    and 

    narrow 
    trail 

    You shun 
    the gaily 
    painted 
    ladies, 

    bright 
    lights, 
    and booze 
    as well 

    You'll 
    be 
    sittin' 
    all 
    alone, 

    watchin' 
    TV 
    home 
    in bed 

    Your 
    skin will 
    start 
    to prickle 

    and your hands 
    will 
    start to 
    sweat 

    You 
    reach 
    for the 
    bottle 

    just 
    sure as 
    I stand 

    You 
    raise 
    it to your 
    lips, 

    take a 
    drink, and then 
    shazam! 

    You're a 
    skinny little 
    boy 

    From 
    Cleveland, 
    Ohio, 

    you go 
    chasing 
    down 
    the women 

    And drinking 
    up 
    the beer 

    Boom, 
    boom, 
    boom, 
    boo -doom

    • 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.
