Ding Bat Daddy |
| 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 used 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, well, that’s 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 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 |
