| Johnny was a schoolboy
|
| When he heard his first Beatles song
|
| 'Love Me Do' I think it was
|
| And from then it didn’t take him long
|
| Got himself a guitar
|
| Used to play every night
|
| Now he’s in a rock 'n' roll outfit
|
| And everything’s alright
|
| Don’t you know?
|
| Johnny told his Mama
|
| «Hey, Mama, I’m goin' away
|
| Gonna hit the big time
|
| Gonna be a big star someday»
|
| Mama came to the door
|
| With a teardrop in her eye
|
| Johnny said, «Don't cry Mama
|
| Smile and wave goodbye»
|
| Don’t you know?
|
| Yeah…
|
| Don’t you know that you are a shooting star?
|
| Don’t you know?
|
| Don’t you know?
|
| Don’t you know that you are a shooting star?
|
| And all the world will love you just as long
|
| As long as you are
|
| Johnny made a record
|
| Went straight up to number one
|
| Suddenly everyone loved
|
| To hear him sing the song
|
| Watchin' the world go by
|
| Surprisin' it goes so fast
|
| Johnny looked around him and said
|
| «Well, I made the big-time at last!»
|
| Don’t you know?
|
| Don’t you know?
|
| Don’t you know that you are a shooting star?
|
| Don’t you know?
|
| Don’t you know?
|
| Don’t you know that you are a shooting star?
|
| And all the world will love you just as long
|
| As long as you are
|
| Johnny died one night, died in his bed
|
| Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head
|
| Johnny’s life passed him by like a warm summer day
|
| If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play
|
| Don’t you know that you are a shooting star?
|
| Don’t you know?
|
| Don’t you know that you are a shooting star?
|
| Don’t you don’t you don’t you don’t you don’t you know?
|
| Don’t you know that you are a shooting star? |
