Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first Beatles song
Love Me Do, I think it was and from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night
Now he's in a rock & roll outfit, and everything's all right, Don't know?
Johnny told his Momma, Hey Momma I'm goin' away
I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star some-day
Momma came to the door with a tear drop in her eye
Johnny said, Don't cry Momma smile & wave good- bye
Don't you know, yeah, yeah, Don't you know that you are a 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
Watching 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, yeah, yeah, Don't you know that you are a star
Don't you know, whoa yeah, Don't you know that you are a star, yeah
And all the world will love you just as long, As long as you are a
star
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know,
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, And all the world will love
just as long
As long as you are..
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleepin' 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
Woah...
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know,
you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know,
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
Na, na, na, na..
