Carpenters - Goofus Lyrics

Font:

Align:

I was born on a farm out in iowa

A flaming youth I was bound I would fly away

I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone

Cant read notes, but I play anything by ear

I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear

When Id start to play folks 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 thats goofus

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 couldnt 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 (**)
