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
