    • Verse 1
    Up 
    here 
    in 
    the 

    land 
    of 
    the 
    hot- 
    dog 
    stand 

    The 
    atom 
    bomb 
    and 
    the 

    Good 
    Hu
    mor 
    Man 

    We 
    think 
    our 
    South 
    American 

    neighbors 
    are 
    grand 

    We 
    love 
    'em 
    to 
    beat 
    the band 

    Verse 2

    South 
    America, 
    baba- 
    loo, 

    baba- 
    loo, 
    ay- 
    ee- 
    eh, 
    baba- 
    loo 

    One 
    favor 
    you 
    can 
    do, 

    ay- 
    ee- 
    eh, 
    you 
    can 
    do 

    You 
    beau
    tiful 
    lands 
    below 

    Don't 
    know 
    what 
    you 
    began 

    To 
    put 
    it 
    plainly, 

    I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    shakin' 

    To 
    that 
    Pan- 
    American 
    plan 


    Verse 3
    Take 
    back 
    your 
    Samba, 
    ay!, 
    your 
    Rumba, ay!, 

    your 
    Conga, ay- 
    yi- 
    yi! 

    I 
    can't 
    keep 
    movin', 
    ay!, 
    my 
    chassis, 

    ay!, 
    any 
    longer, 
    ay- 
    yi- 
    yi! 

    Now 
    maybe 
    Latins, 
    ay!, 
    in 
    their 
    middles, 

    ay!, 
    are 
    built 
    stronger, 
    ay- 
    yi- 
    yi! 

    But 
    all 
    this 
    takin' 
    to 
    the 
    quakin' 
    and 
    this 
    makin' 

    with 
    the shakin' 
    leaves 
    me 
    achin', 
    olé! 

    Verse 4
    First 
    shake 
    around 
    and settle 
    there 

    Then 
    you shake 
    around 
    and 
    settle 
    here 

    Then 
    you shake 
    around 

    and 
    settle 
    there 

    That's 
    enough, 
    that's 
    enough 

    Take 
    it 
    back, 

    my 
    spine's outta- 
    whack 

    There's 
    a strange 
    click- 
    clack 

    In 
    the 
    back 
    of 
    my 

    sacroilliac 

    Take 
    back 
    your 
    Verse 5
    Conga, ay!, 
    your 
    Samba, 

    ay!, 
    your 
    Rumba, ay- 
    yi- yi! 

    Why 
    can't 
    you send 
    us, 
    ay!, 
    a 
    less 
    strenu- , ay!, 

    - ous 
    number
    , 
    ay- 
    yi- 
    yi! 

    I 
    got 
    more 
    bumps 
    now, 
    ay!, 
    than 
    on 
    a, 

    ay!, 
    cucumber, 
    ay- 
    yi- 
    yi! 

    While 
    all 
    those 
    Latin 
    drums 
    are 
    cloppin', like 
    a Jumpin' 

    Jack 
    I'm 
    hoppin' 
    without 
    stop
    pin', 
    olé! 

    South 
    Amer
    ica, 
    take 
    it 
    away 

    Verse 6
    First 
    you shake 
    around 
    and 
    settle 
    there 

    (where?) 

    Then you shake 
    around 
    and 

    settle 
    here 
    (oh, there) 

    And 
    then 
    you shake 
    around 
    and 
    settle 

    there 
    (why Bing!) 

    That's 
    enough, 
    that's 
    enough 

    Take 
    it 
    back, 

    my 
    spine's outta- 
    whack 

    There's 
    a 
    strange 
    click- 
    clack 

    In 
    the 
    back 
    of 
    my 

    sac
    roilliac 

    Oh, my 
    achin' 
    back 

    Take 
    back 
    your 
    Verse 7
    Conga, ay!, 
    your 
    Samba, 

    ay!, 
    your 
    Rumba, ay- yi- 
    yi! 

    Bring 
    back 
    the 
    old 
    days, 
    ay!, 

    of 
    dancing 
    I 
    remem
    ber, 
    ay- 
    yi- yi! 

    My 
    hips 
    are 
    cracking, 

    I 
    am 
    shrieking 
    "Ay- 
    Carumba!", ay- 
    yi- 
    yi! 

    I 
    got 
    a wriggle 
    and 
    a 
    diddle 
    and 
    a jiggle 

    like 
    a 
    fiddle 
    in 
    my 
    middle, 
    olé! 

    This 
    fancy 
    swishin' 
    imposition 
    wears 
    out 
    all 

    of 
    my 
    transmission 
    ammuni
    tion, 
    olé! 

    Though 
    I 
    like 
    neighborly 
    rela

    all 
    these 
    crazy 

    new

    patience, 
    olé! 

    South 
    Amer
    ica, 

    take 
    it 
    away!

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
