| 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! |
