Goofus - Phil Harris[00:00:00]
I was born on a farm out in Ioway[00:00:10]
A flaming youth[00:00:13]
Who was bound that he'd fly away[00:00:14]
I packed my grip[00:00:16]
And I grabbed my saxophone[00:00:17]
Can't read notes[00:00:22]
But I play anything by ear[00:00:23]
I made up tunes on[00:00:25]
The sounds that I used to hear[00:00:26]
I'd start to play folks used to say[00:00:28]
Sounds a little goofus to me[00:00:31]
Corn-fed chords appeal to me[00:01:04]
I like rustic harmony[00:01:07]
Hold the note'n change the key[00:01:10]
That's called goofus[00:01:13]
Not accordin' to the rules[00:01:16]
That you learn at music schools[00:01:19]
But the folks just dance like fools[00:01:22]
They love goofus[00:01:25]
Got a job but I just[00:01:44]
Couldn't keep it long[00:01:45]
The leader said[00:01:46]
I played all the music wrong[00:01:48]
So I stepped out[00:01:50]
With an outfit of my own[00:01:51]
Got together a new kind of orchestry[00:01:56]
And we all played[00:01:58]
Just the same goofus harmony[00:02:00]
And I must admit we made a hit[00:02:02]
Goofus has been lucky for me[00:02:04]
I must admit we made a hit[00:02:38]
Goofus has been lucky for me[00:02:41]
