Goofus
Les Paul feat. Mary Ford
I was born on a farm out in Iowa A flaming youth I was bound I would 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'
Cornfed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony Hold a note and change the key Hey but that's 'Goofus' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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 orchestree And we all played just the same 'Goofus' harmony And I must admit we made a hit 'Goofus' has been lucky for me
