Goofus Lyrics - A Kind Of Hush - The Carpenters

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 

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 to say 

Sounds a little goofus to me 

Corn fed chords appeal to me 

I like rustic harmony 

Hold a note and change the key 

Hey but that's goofus

Not according to the rules 

That you learned in music schools 

But the folks just dance like fools 

They sure go for 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

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 

Goofus has been lucky for me 

Goofus has been lucky for me
