Mister Goofus
There once was a song called “Goofus”
I think this describes me all right
Sounds about right for this mood I'm in
Been in it forty days, forty nights!
I highly recommend this euphoric state
Ain't too many things will upset you
Probably when somebody refuses to smile
Is about the only time it will get you!
Pay no heed though, I'm sure it will pass
You'll be sad and grumpy once more
It's the way of the world, it can get to you
Once again you'll end up on the floor!
But have no fear, Mister Goofus is here
To get you back up on your horse
Usually employ some tried and true tactics
To help you get back on course!
Whatever you may think bout this or that
Makes no difference as far as I see
It'll surely go on very much like before
Sounds like a little goofus to me!
