Supremes - Johnny One Note lyrics

rate me

(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart) <br />

<br />

Johnny could only sing one note<br />

And the note he sang was this:<br />

Ah<br />

<br />

Poor Johnny one note sang out with gusto<br />

And just overloaded the place<br />

Poor Johnny one note he yelled willy-nilly<br />

Until he was blue in the face<br />

For holding one not was his ace<br />

<br />

Couldn't hear the brass<br />

Couldn't hear the drum<br />

He was in a class<br />

By himself, by gum<br />

<br />

Poor Johnny one note got in Aida<br />

Indeed a great chance to be brave<br />

He took his one note<br />

Howled like the North Wind<br />

Brought forth wind that made critics rave<br />

While Verdi turned round in his grave!<br />

<br />

Couldn't hear the flute<br />

Or the big trombone<br />

Everyone was mute<br />

Johnny stood alone<br />

<br />

Sing Johnny one note<br />

Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd<br />

<br />

Couldn't hear the flute<br />

Or the big trombone<br />

Everyone was mute<br />

Johnny stood alone<br />

<br />

Couldn't hear the brass<br />

Couldn't hear the drum<br />

He was in a class<br />

By himself, by gum<br />

<br />

Sing Johnny one note<br />

Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd
