What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I was born on a farm out in Ioway
2
A flaming youth who was bound that he'd fly away
3
I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone
4
Can't read notes, but I play anything by ear
5
I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear
6
When I'd start to play folks used to say
7
"Sounds a little Goofus to me"
8
Cornfed chords appeal to me, I like rustic harmony
9
Hold that note and change the key, that's called "Goofus"
10
Not according to the rules that you learn at music schools
11
But the folks just dance like fools, they go "Goofus"
12
Got a job but I just couldn't keep it long
13
The leader said that I played all the music wrong
14
So I stepped out with an outfit of my own
15
Got together a new kind of orchestree
16
And we all played just the same "Goofus" harmony
17
And I must admit we made a hit
Carpenters - Goofus
