    my 
    phone 

    Annie 
    Liebowitz would shoot

    Stone 

    But 
    the 
    years 
    have 
    come 
    and 

    gone 
    and 
    I'm 
    sorry 
    to say 

    That's 
    not 
    the 
    way 
    that 

    it's 
    all 
    worked 
    out 

    I'm

    every 
    day 

    And 
    every 
    time 
    it's 
    the same 

    Verse 6
    Look 
    at those 
    hippos, 

    they're 
    wig
    gling 
    their 
    ears 

    Just 
    like 
    they've 
    done 
    for 

    the 
    last 
    50 years 

    Now 
    I'm 
    laugh
    ing 
    at 
    my 
    own 
    jokes, 

    but 
    I'm 
    crying 
    in
    side 

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    working 
    on 
    the 
    Jungle 

    Cruise 
    ride 

    Verse 7

    Oh 
    the critics 
    they 
    used 
    to 
    say, 

    was 
    the 
    new 
    Olivier

    Thought 
    I'd 
    be 
    the 
    toast 
    of 

    Sundance, or 
    maybe 
    Cannes 

    Ah, 
    but 
    don't 
    bother 

    trying 
    to 
    IMDB me 

    The 
    only 
    place 
    you 
    might 
    possibly 
    see 
    me 

    Is 
    rid
    ing 
    my 
    little 
    boat 
    around 

    Adventureland 

    It 
    ain't 
    exactly 
    what 
    planned 
    but 

    I'm 
    Verse 8
    tour 
    guide 
    on 

    the Jungle 
    Cruise

    Skipper 
    Dan 
    is 
    the 
    name 

    And 
    I'm 
    doing 
    34 shows 
    every 
    day 

    And 
    every 
    time 
    it's 
    the same 

    Verse 9
    would've 
    killed 
    if 
    I'd 

    been 
    in Speed- 
    the- 
    Plow 

    But 
    what's 
    the 
    difference 
    that's 

    all 
    behind 
    me now 

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    pay
    ing 
    the 
    rent 
    and 

    I'm 
    swal
    lowing 
    my pride 

    And 
    I'm 
    work
    ing 
    on 
    the Jungle 

    Cruise 
    ride 

    Verse 10
    I should 
    be 
    there 
    on 
    Broad
    way, 

    Knocking 
    'em 
    dead 
    in 

    12 Angry 
    Men 

    But 
    instead 
    I'm 
    here 
    telling 

    these 
    lame 
    jokes 

    Again, 
    and 
    again, 
    and 
    again, 
    and 
    again, 

    And 
    again, 
    and 
    again, 

    and 
    again 

    Verse 11
    (Bengal tigers 
    can 

    jump 
    over 
    20 feet) 

    (That's an 
    African 

    Bull- Elephant) 

    (There it 
    is, 

    the back
    side 
    of 
    water) 

    (What have 
    done 
    with 
    my 
    life?) 

    Verse 12
    should've 
    listened 
    when 
    my 

    Grandfather 
    said 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    major 
    in 

    busi
    ness 
    instead? 

    Now 
    my 
    hopes 
    have all 
    van
    ished 

    and 
    my 
    dreams 
    have 
    all 
    died 

    And 
    I'll 
    probably 
    work 
    forever 
    as

    • 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.
