Shirley Bassey - Johnny One Note lyrics

Johnny could only sing one note

And the note he sang was this, aaaahh

Poor johnny one note

Sang out with gusto

And just overloaded the place

Poor johnny one note

Yelled willy-nilly

Until he was blue 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

Everyone was mute

Johnny stood alone

Cats and dogs stopped yapping

Lions in the zoo

Were all jealous of johnny's big thrill

Thunderclaps stopped clapping

Traffic ceased its roar

And they tell us niag'ra stood still

He stopped the trainwistles

Boatwhistles

Steamwhistles

Copwhistles

All whistles bowed to his skill

Sing johnny one note

Sing out with gusto

And just overwhelm all the crowd

Aaaahh

So sing, johnny one note out loud

Sing, johnny one note

Sing - johnny - one note - out loud
