Les Paul( Lester William Polsfuss )

Goofus (Remastered)

I was born on a farm out in Ioway
A flaming youth who was bound that he'd 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'

Cornfed chords appeal to me, I like rustic harmony
Hold that note and change the key, that's called 'Goofus'
Not according to the rules that you learn at music schools
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
But the folks just dance like fools, they go '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
