    Talking 
    Pop 
    Art 

    Well I went 
    out for 
    a 
    walk last 
    week 

    I passed 
    a shop they 
    call a boutique 

    Fancy 
    Dresses of 
    every 
    size, 

    fancy 
    wigs to 
    pop your 
    eyes 

    Bracelets, 
    diamond 
    rings, 

    stuff 
    for women 
    too 

    Well 
    I didn't 
    want to 
    see no 
    more 
    I 
    Verse 2

    slipped 
    inside 
    the grocery 
    store 

    I took 
    down 
    a 
    can of beans, 

    I 
    pulled 
    a dollar 
    out of my jeans 

    A fella 
    said "Hold 
    it, 

    that'll 
    be 
    three hundred 
    dol
    lars" 

    Verse 3
    Well 
    a feather 
    could've knocked 

    me down 

    I mean, 
    I 
    knew this 
    was a high 

    priced 
    town 

    But this was 
    getting 
    hard to 
    take, 

    I said 
    "What 
    the hell do 

    you get for steak?" 

    He 
    looked surprised, 

    Said 
    "It isn't just 
    a can of 
    beans, 

    It's 
    a work of 
    art" 

    Now I 
    see what 
    the 
    poor man 
    means 
    He's 
    Verse 4

    proud 
    of that little 
    can of 
    beans 

    I didn't 
    hear what 
    else 
    he said, I 

    had my 
    eyes on 
    a loaf of 
    bread 

    "White 
    bread 
    four- 
    hun
    dred 
    dollars; Three 

    for a thousand" 

    Verse 5
    Well 
    just about 
    then a crowd 
    came 
    in 

    And 
    pickin's 
    must've been 

    pretty slim 

    Because 
    in just 
    a minute, or 

    three, or four 

    They'd 
    cleaned out 
    that whole 

    grocery store 

    They bought 
    brooms 

    Fought over 
    water
    melons 

    One fella 
    put down 
    a pickle. 

    Said " I don't 
    know much about 
    art 

    But 
    I 
    know what 
    I 
    like" 

    Verse 6
    Well as I 
    stood there 
    won

    derin' 
    why 

    Two little 
    fellas came 
    cruising 
    by 

    Little tight 
    suits, 
    little black 
    ties 

    One of them 
    looked at me 
    and said 
    " My how 
    rustic, 

    I bid a 
    thou
    sand" 

    I said 
    "I beg your 
    par
    don?" 

    "It 
    speaks, 
    I bid 
    five 
    thousand!" 

    Verse 7
    So 
    here I 
    stand in 
    a 
    Su
    perman 
    suit 

    And 
    everybody 
    says I'm cute 

    I 
    tried to 
    tell them but 
    they 

    would not 
    see 

    So they 
    hang their 
    hats and 
    coats on 
    me 

    Well a 
    job's 
    a job 

    Still 
    if I had my 
    preference, 

    I'd 
    rather 
    be 
    Batman

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
