Goofus (Remastered Version)
I was born on a farm out in Ioway A flaming youth who was bound that he'd fly away I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone Can't read notes, but I play anything by ear I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear When I'd start to play folks used to say 'Sounds a little Goofus to me'
Cornfed chords appeal to me, I like rustic harmony Hold that note and change the key, that's called 'Goofus' Not according to the rules that you learn at music schools Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But the folks just dance like fools, they go 'Goofus'
Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long The leader said that I played all the music wrong So I stepped out with an outfit of my own Got together a new kind of orchestree And we all played just the same 'Goofus' harmony And I must admit we made a hit
