《Goofus (Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] I was born on a farm out in Ioway

[00:00:10] A flaming youth who was bound that he'd fly away

[00:00:33] I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone

[00:00:35] Can't read notes but I play anything by ear

[00:00:45] I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear

[00:00:48] When I'd start to play folks used to say

[00:00:53] Sounds a little Goofus to me

[00:00:53] Cornfed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony

[00:00:54] Hold that note and change the key that's called Goofus

[00:02:11] Not according to the rules that you learn at music schools

[00:02:12] But the folks just dance like fools they go Goofus

[00:02:14] Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long

[00:02:16] The leader said that I played all the music wrong

[00:02:17] So I stepped out with an outfit of my own

[00:02:22] Got together a new kind of orchestree

[00:02:23] And we all played just the same Goofus harmony

[00:02:27] And I must admit we made a hit
