I was bored on a farm down in Iowa

 

A flaming youth I was bound I would fly away

 

I grabbed my hat 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

 

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

 

That's called Goofus

Not according to the rules

 

That you learn in music schools

 

But the folks just dance like fools

 

They love " 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

Repeat (*)

 

Repeat (**)
