《Goofus》歌词

[00:00:00] Goofus (谷弗斯管) - Red Nichols & His Five Pennies/Porter Grainger/Lincoln M. Conway

[00:00:11] Written by : HAROLD/WILLIAM/KING/WAYNE/KAHN/GUS

[00:00:22] I was born on a farm out in Ioway

[00:00:24] A flaming youth who was bound that he'd fly away

[00:00:27] I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone

[00:00:31] Can't read notes but I play anything by ear

[00:00:33] I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear

[00:00:36] When I'd start to play folks used to say

[00:00:38] Sounds a little Goofus to me

[00:00:41] Cornfed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony

[00:00:46] Hold that note and change the key that's called Goofus

[00:00:51] Not according to the rules that you learn at music schools

[00:00:55] But the folks just dance like fools they go Goofus

[00:01:00] Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long

[00:01:03] The leader said that I played all the music wrong

[00:01:05] So I stepped out with an outfit of my own

[00:01:10] Got together a new kind of orchestra

[00:01:12] And we all played just the same Goofus harmony

[00:01:15] And I must admit we made a hit

[00:01:17] Goofus lucky for me
