Johnny could only sing one note
|
And the note he sings was this
|
Ah!
|
Poor Johnny one-note
|
sang out with "gusto"
|
And just overlorded the place
|
Poor Johnny one-note
|
yelled willy nilly
|
Until he was bleu in the face
|
For holding one note was his ace
|
Couldn't hear the brass
|
Couldn't hear the drum
|
He was in a class
|
By himself, by gum!
|
Poor Johnny one-note
|
Got in Aida
|
Indeed a great chance to be brave
|
He took his one note
|
Howled like the North Wind
|
Brought forth wind that made critics rave,
|
While Verdi turned round in his grave!
|
Couldn't hear the flute
|
Or the big trombone
|
Ev'ry one was mute
|
Johnny stood alone.
|
Cats and dogs stopped yapping
|
Lions in the zoo
|
All were jealous of Johnny's big trill
|
Thunder claps stopped clapping,
|
Traffic ceased its roar,
|
And they tell us Niag'ra stood still.
|
He stopped the train whistles,
|
Boat whistles,
|
steam whistles,
|
Cop whistles,
|
all whistles bowed to his skill
|
Sing Johnny One-Note,
|
Sing out with "gusto" and
|
Just overwhelm all the crowd
|
Ah!
|
So sing Johnny One-Note, out loud!!
|
Sing Johnny One-Note
|
Sing Johnny One-Note out loud!
|
