Phil Harris - Goofus lyrics
I was born on a farm out in Ioway
A flaming youth
Who was bound that hed fly away
I packed my grip
And I grabbed my saxophone
Cant read notes but I play anything by ear
I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear
Id start to play, folks used to say
Sounds a little goofus to me
Corn-fed chords appeal to me
I like rustic harmony
Hold the note n change the key
Thats called goofus
Not accordin to the rulesPhil Harris - Goofus - http://motolyrics.com/phil-harris/goofus-lyrics.html
That you learn at music schools
But the folks just dance like fools
They love goofus
Got a job but I just couldnt keep it long
The leader said I played all the music wrong
So I stepped out with an outfit of my own
Got together a new kind of orchestry
And we all played just the same goofus harmony
And I must admit, we made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me
I must admit, we made a hit
Goofus has been lucky for me
