    Verse 1
    Tweeter 
    and 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man 

    were 
    hard 
    up 
    for 
    cash 

    They 
    stayed 
    up 
    all 
    night 

    selling 
    cocaine 
    and 
    hash 

    To 
    an 
    undercover 
    cop 

    who 
    had 
    sister 
    named 
    Jan 

    For 
    reasons 
    unexplained 

    she 
    loved 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man 


    Tweeter 
    was 
    Boy 
    Scout 

    'fore 
    she 
    went 
    to 
    Vietnam 

    And 
    found 
    out 
    the 
    hard 
    way, 

    no
    body 
    gives 
    damn 

    They 
    knew 
    that 
    they 
    found 
    freedom 

    just 
    a
    cross 
    the 
    Jersey 
    line 

    So 
    they 
    hopped 
    into 
    stolen 
    car, 

    took 
    Highway 
    99 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    the 
    walls 
    came 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    hell 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they're 
    standing 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they 
    fell 

    Verse 2
    The 
    undercover 
    cop 

    never 
    liked 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man 

    Even 
    back 
    in 
    childhood 

    he 
    wanted 
    to 
    see 
    him 
    in 
    the 
    can 

    Jan 
    got 
    married 
    at 
    fourteen 

    to 
    racketeer 
    named 
    Bill 

    She 
    made 
    secret 
    calls 
    to 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man 

    from 
    mansion 
    on 
    the 
    hill 

    It 
    was 
    out 
    on 
    Thunder 
    Road, 

    Tweeter 
    at 
    the 
    wheel 

    They 
    crashed 
    into 
    paradise, 

    they 
    could 
    hear 
    them 
    tires 
    squeal 

    The 
    undercover 
    cop 
    pulled 
    up 
    and 
    said 

    "Everyone 
    of 
    you 
    is 
    liar 

    If 
    you 
    don't 
    surrender 
    now 

    it's 
    gonna 
    go 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    wire" 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    the 
    walls 
    came 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    hell 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they're 
    standing 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they 
    fell 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    An 
    ambulance 
    rolled 
    up, 

    state-
    trooper 
    close 
    behind 

    Tweeter 
    took 
    his 
    gun 
    away 

    and 
    messed 
    up 
    his 
    mind 

    The 
    undercover 
    cop 
    was 
    left 

    tied 
    up 
    to 
    tree 

    Near 
    the 
    souvenir 
    stand, 

    by 
    the 
    old 
    aban
    doned 
    factory 


    Next 
    day 
    the 
    undercover 
    cop 
    was 

    hot 
    in 
    pursuit 

    He 
    was 
    taking 
    the 
    whole 
    thing 
    personal, 

    he 
    didn't 
    care 
    about 
    the 
    loot 

    Jan 
    had 
    told 
    him 
    many 
    times, 

    "It 
    was 
    you 
    to 
    me 
    who 
    taught 

    In 
    Jersey 
    anything's 
    legal 

    as 
    long 
    as 
    you 
    don't 
    get 
    caught" 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    the 
    walls 
    came 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    hell 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they're 
    standing 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they 
    fell 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 4
    Some 
    place 
    by 
    Rahwey 
    Prison 

    they 
    ran 
    out 
    of 
    gas 

    The 
    under
    cover 
    cop 
    had 
    cornered 
    them, 
    said 

    "Boy, 
    you 
    didn't 
    think 
    this 
    could 
    last?" 

    Jan 
    jumped 
    out 
    of 
    bed, 

    said, 
    "There's 
    someplace 
    gotta 
    go" 

    She 
    took 
    the 
    gun 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    drawer, 

    said, 
    "It's 
    best 
    that 
    you 
    don't 
    know." 

    The 
    undercover 
    cop 
    was 
    found 

    face 
    down 
    in 
    field 

    The 
    Monkey 
    Man 
    was 
    on 
    the 
    river 
    bridge, 

    using 
    Tweeter 
    as 
    shield 

    Jan 
    said 
    to 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man, 

    "I'm 
    not 
    fooled 
    by 
    Tweeter's 
    curl 

    knew 
    him 
    long 
    before 

    he 
    be
    came 
    Jersey 
    Girl" 

    Chorus 4
    And 
    the 
    walls 
    came 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    hell 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they're 
    standing 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they 
    fell 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 5
    Now 
    the 
    town 
    of 
    Jersey 
    City 

    is 
    quiet
    ing 
    down 
    again 

    I'm 
    sitting 
    in 
    gambling 
    club 

    called 
    the 
    Lion's 
    Den 

    The 
    TV 
    set 
    was 
    blown 
    up, 

    every 
    bit 
    of 
    it 
    is 
    gone 

    Ever 
    since 
    the 
    nightly 
    news 
    showed 

    that 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man 
    was 
    on 

    guess 
    I'll 
    go 
    to 
    Florida 

    and 
    get 
    myself 
    some 
    sun 

    There 
    ain't 
    no 
    more 
    opportunity 
    here, 

    everything's 
    been 
    done 

    Sometimes 
    think 
    of 
    Tweeter, 

    some
    times 
    think 
    of 
    Jan 

    Some
    times 
    don't 
    think 
    about 
    nothing 

    but 
    the 
    Monkey 
    Man 

    Chorus 5
    And 
    the 
    walls 
    came 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    hell 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they're 
    standing 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they 
    fell 

    And 
    the 
    walls 
    came 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    hell 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they're 
    standing 

    Never 
    saw 
    them 
    when 
    they 
    fell

      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 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.

      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.
