[00:01.00] 作词 : Harold, Kahn, King
[00:18.89]I  was  born  on  a  farm  out  in  Iowa
[00:22.21]A  flaming  youth  I  was  bound  I  would  fly  away
[00:24.80]I  packed  my  grip  and  I  grabbed  my  saxophone
[00:28.92]Can't  read  notes,but  I  play  anything  by  ear
[00:34.54]I  made  up  tunes  on  the  sounds  that  I  used  to  hear
[00:37.42]When  I'd  start  to  play  folks  to  say
[00:39.98]'Sounds  a  little  Goofus  to  me'
[00:43.17]Cornfed  chords  appeal  to  me
[00:45.79]I  like  rustic  harmony
[00:49.11]Hold  a  note  and  change  the  key
[00:52.80]Hey  but  that's 'Goofus'
[00:55.73]Not  according  to  the  rules
[00:59.11]That  you  learn  in  music  schools
[01:02.30]But  the  folks  just  dance  like  fools
[01:05.48]They  sure  go  for 'Goofus'
[01:08.48]Got  a  job  but  I  just  couldn't  keep  it  long
[01:12.61]The  leader  said  that  I  played  all  the  music  wrong
[01:16.05]So  I  stepped  out  with  an  outfit  of  my  own
[01:19.36]Got  together  a  new  kind  of  orchestra
[01:24.43]And  we  all  played  just  the  same 'Goofus'harmony
[01:27.92]And  I  must  admit  we  made  a  hit
[01:30.93]'Goofus'has  been  lucky  for  me
