Goofy 1 doesn't know it
but when he walks by, the whole town laughs,
and the little seamstresses,
in the shop windows,
make a thousand funny faces,
but he very seriously,
greets everyone, bows and leaves.
He thinks he’s gorgeous,
like the god Apollo,
and hops along like a chicken.
Over his coat, he wears his jacket,
and over his vest, his shirt;
over his shoes, he wears his socks. His buttons are missing,
and with strings he holds up his trouser legs.
But Goofy doesn't know it;
and with great seriousness
he goes through the town.
He thinks he’s gorgeous,
like the god Apollo,
and hops along like a chicken.
1. “Pippo”, usually short for "Filippo”, also the Italian name for Disney’s Goofy.
