    • Verse 1
    Everybody's 
    gonna boycott, 

    not a country's 
    gonna come. 

    If 
    they 
    have the games 
    at all, 

    they're gonna be 
    going 
    some. 

    For 
    the Russians have 
    decided 

    that they 
    do not 
    like LA. 

    Well I could 
    have told them 
    that, 

    I 
    say it fifty 
    times 
    a day. 

    But 
    there is 
    no need to panic, 

    and there is no 
    need 
    to cry. 

    We'll 
    be 
    run
    ning, 

    Jumping, tumbling, 
    children by 
    and 
    by 

    Did you 
    think a little 
    boycott 

    Would put 
    good times 
    in the 
    soup? 

    Did you feel 
    that hope 
    was gone? 

    And could 
    you feel 
    the 
    party 
    poop? 

    We 
    can 
    have 
    the 
    Olympics 
    over 
    our 
    house 

    If 
    we 
    use 
    our heads 
    it wouldn't 
    be so 
    hard 

    Put 
    the 
    athletes 
    on 
    a bus 

    and 
    bring 
    them over 
    to 
    us 

    We'll 
    fire 
    a 
    gun 

    and run them 
    around the 
    yard 

    We 
    can 
    have 
    the 
    Olympics 

    over 
    at our 
    house 

    There'll 
    be room 
    for all 

    if no one's 
    gonna be 
    there 

    Have 
    the fella 
    with the 
    torch 

    bring 
    it over 
    to the 
    porch 

    And we'll 
    hang 
    it up 
    and 

    show the 
    world we 
    care 

    There's 
    a basket 
    in the driveway 

    where the 
    kids 
    have always 
    played 

    A 
    treat for 
    acrobats 

    that even 
    provides 
    some 
    shade 

    If 
    the whole 
    world's 
    gonna boycott 

    If 
    the whole 
    world 
    stays 
    at home 

    You 
    can 
    come on 
    over 
    to our 
    house 

    We'll 
    have a 
    good time 
    on 
    our 
    own 

    We can 
    have 
    the 
    Olympics 
    over 
    at our 
    house 

    If 
    we 
    use 
    our heads 

    I know we'll 
    have 
    a ball 

    We 
    have 
    a pool 
    above the 
    ground 

    We 
    think it's 
    the 
    nicest 
    one 
    around 

    If 
    we 
    shorten 
    the races 

    we can 
    have 
    a 
    brawl 

    Come 
    on 
    and 
    have 
    the 
    Olympics 

    over 
    at our 

    We 
    can 
    break 
    a sweat and 

    get 
    a medal or 
    two. 

    Grandma 
    says 
    she'll hold 
    the clock 

    while 
    they 
    run 
    around the 
    block. 

    That's 
    about the 
    limit 

    of 
    what Grandma 
    can 
    do. 

    If 
    we have 
    the 
    Olympics 
    over 
    at our 
    house, 

    We 
    can 
    have 
    a whole 
    caboodle 
    on 
    TV. 

    Or 
    a neighbor 
    down the 
    street 

    has 
    a video 
    that's 
    a 
    treat. 

    If we 
    mention 
    his name, 

    he'll end 
    the thing 
    to 
    me. 

    Come 
    on 
    and 
    have 
    the 
    Olympics 

    over 
    at our 
    house. 

    We'll 
    release 
    a couple of 

    pigeons and 
    fire 
    a gun. 

    We 
    can 
    run 
    a race 
    or two, 

    then we'll 
    have some 
    barbecue 

    Don't 
    you 
    know 
    we're gonna 

    have 
    a lot 
    of 
    fun? 

    And 
    as 
    our 
    honorary 
    starter, 

    we've 
    in
    vited 
    Jimmy Carter

    Don't 
    you 
    know 
    we're gonna 

    have 
    a lot 
    of 
    fun?

      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.
