Lyrics Goofus - 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
