    Verse 2
    A

    I was walking on the water when I saw

    a crocodile

    He had daisies in his hat,

    so I stopped him for a while

    He delivered me a message,

    a massage to soothe my stage

    What it was,

    was more then plug- up dosage

    More than D.A.I.S.Y. age

    Conversation drew a rule
    Em

    Which the crowd will roar by mil lions
    A

    Mr. Crocodile said, 'Dove, you must look

    For now the villains try

    to hold you underwater

    But one thing we all must

    heed

    Sony Walkman's keep us walking

    De La Soul can help you breathe when

    you tread water

    A

    As I walked along my journey

    I thought 'What have I just learned?'

    In a flash I saw commotion

    There was movement in these ferns

    Silently the silence came,

    was it the end of my world?

    I shouted out in fear,

    'Who's there?'
    Em

    'It's me,' said Mr. Squirrel
    A

    'I've searched for you all over,

    now you're found

    No time to waste. We must find

    the preacher man

    We must find the P.A. Mase. For

    my population's dying

    And we're all in tune to doom

    Like the Daisy, I need water

    I need chestnuts to consume.'

    'Mr. Squirrel,' I said, 'I'm sorry

    But the problem can't be solved

    If there's no one here to help,

    and no one to get involved

    Always look to the positive

    and never drop your head

    For the water will engulf us if you

    do not dare to tread

    So let's tread water'

    Verse 5

    Now one weary day I woke,

    my alarm said 'Plug time's up'

    Filled my bath up with the water,

    gargled with my gargle cup

    As I bathed I felt a presence,

    and I'm sort of ticklish

    I looked down and then

    around and I heard
    Em
    A

    'Hi! I'm Mr Fish. How do

    you do? As for me

    I'm in tip- top shape today,

    cause my water's clean

    And no one's menu says Fresh Fish Filet

    See I look past all my worries,

    which is something you must do

    Though you're fed up,

    throw your head up

    With this advice from me to you

    And that's to tread water'

    Verse 7

    As my day went unexplained,

    time was finding nothing fun

    As I walked along the sidewalk,

    I heard

    'Psst, excuse me, Plug One.'

    From my Soul, De La that is, I hollered,

    'Yes, are you talking to me?'

    'No alarm meant,' he said,

    'Let me introduce myself

    I'm Mr Monkey.'

    'Mr Monkey,

    I pledge you slap of five

    Now how does your problem meet?'

    He said, 'My bananas are at their ripest,

    but they all

    Stand at 3 Feet. My swinging

    hand is bandaged up

    Could you help me with this chore?'

    I brought him down to the

    Native shop

    And bought him copies of the

    De La score

    Which assisted well in his elevation

    Now all bananas was at his grasp

    He decided with this accomplished

    He would put me on to the path

    He told me to live by the Inner Sound,

    y'all

    Which would bring me health in showbiz

    Then to use them, not abuse them

    And then in the words

    that got me to 'em
    A

    And that is to tread water

    • 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.
