Goofus (谷弗斯管) - Red Nichols & His Five Pennies/Porter Grainger/Lincoln M. Conway[00:00:00]
Written by : HAROLD/WILLIAM/KING/WAYNE/KAHN/GUS[00:00:11]
I was born on a farm out in Ioway[00:00:22]
A flaming youth who was bound that he'd fly away[00:00:24]
I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone[00:00:27]
Can't read notes but I play anything by ear[00:00:31]
I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear[00:00:33]
When I'd start to play folks used to say[00:00:36]
Sounds a little Goofus to me[00:00:38]
Cornfed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony[00:00:41]
Hold that note and change the key that's called Goofus[00:00:46]
Not according to the rules that you learn at music schools[00:00:51]
But the folks just dance like fools they go Goofus[00:00:55]
Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long[00:01:00]
The leader said that I played all the music wrong[00:01:03]
So I stepped out with an outfit of my own[00:01:05]
Got together a new kind of orchestra[00:01:10]
And we all played just the same Goofus harmony[00:01:12]
And I must admit we made a hit[00:01:15]
Goofus lucky for me[00:01:17]
