Johnny One Note |
| Johnny could only sing one note |
| And the note he sings was this |
| Ah! |
| Poor Johnny one-note |
| Sang out with «gusto» |
| And just overloaded 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 |
| Every one was mute |
| Johnny stood alone |
| Cats and dogs stopped yapping |
| Lions in the zoo |
| All were jealous of Johnny’s big thrill |
| 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! |
