  • Verse 1
    What's he building 

    in 
    there? 

    What 
    the hell 
    is he building 
    in there? 

    He has subscrip
    tions to 

    those magazines 

    He never 
    waves when he goes 
    by 

    And 
    he's hid
    Verse 2
    ing something 
    from the 

    rest of us 

    He's all to himself, 

    think I know why 

    He 
    took down 
    the tire- swing 

    from the pepper 
    tree 

    He 
    has no children 
    of his 
    own, you see 

    He 
    has no dog, 
    he 
    has no friend
    Verse 3


    And his lawn 
    is dying 

    And 
    what about 
    those packages 

    he 
    send
    s? 

    What's he 
    build
    ing 
    in there? 

    Verse 4
    With that 
    hook 

    light on the stairs 

    What's he build
    ing in 
    there? 

    I'll tell you 
    one thing, 

    he's not 
    build
    ing a playhouse 
    for the children 

    What's he building 
    in 
    there? 

    Now what's 
    that 
    sound from 
    under
    neath the 
    door? 
    Verse 5


    He's 
    pounding nails 

    into a hardwood 
    floor 

    And I swear 
    to God I heard 

    someone 
    moan
    ing 
    low 

    And 
    keep seeing 
    the blue light 

    of a TV 
    show 

    He has a 
    router 
    Verse 6
    and a table 
    saw 

    And 
    you won't believe 
    what Mr. 

    Sticha saw 

    There's poison 
    underneath 
    the sink, 

    of 
    course 

    There's 
    also enough 
    formaldehyde 

    to choke 
    horse 

    What's 
    he 
    building 
    in there? 
    Verse 7

    What the hell 
    is he 
    building in 
    there? 

    I heard 
    he has an 
    ex- 
    wife 
    in 
    some 
    place called 

    Mayor's 
    In
    come, Tennessee 

    And he 
    used to have a 
    con
    sulting 
    busi

    ness 
    in Indone
    sia 

    But what's he 
    building 
    in there? 
    Verse 8

    He has 
    no 
    friend
    but he 

    get
    s a lot of 
    mail 

    I bet 
    he spent a little 
    time in jail 

    heard he was up on 
    the roof last 
    night, 

    signaling 
    with a 
    flashlight 

    Verse 9
    And what's that 
    tune he's 
    al

    ways whistling? 

    What's 
    he building 
    in 
    there? 

    What's he 
    building 
    in there? 

    We have a 
    right to know

    • 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.
