I was born on a farm out in Iowa A flaming youth I was bound I would 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"
Corn fed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony Hold a note and change the key Hey, well, that's goofus
Not according to the rules That you learn in music schools But the folks just dance like fools They sure go for 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 orchestra And we all played just the same goofus harmony And I must admit We made a hit Goofus has been lucky for me
