Goofus

Goofus - Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies

Written by：Harold/William Kahn/Gus King/Wayne

I was born on a farm out in Ioway

A flaming youth who was bound that he'd 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 used to say

Sounds a little Goofus to me

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 orchestree

And we all played just the same Goofus harmony

And I must admit we made a hit you get to made
