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

Verse 3

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
(Tread Water)
(Tread Water)

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
