The Supremes - Johnny One Note lyrics

Artist: Supremes, The

Album: The Rodgers & Hart Collection

Title: Johnny One Note

Johnny could only sing one note

And the note he sang was this:

Ah

Poor johnny one note sang out with gusto

And just overloaded the place

Poor johnny one note he yelled willy-nilly

Until he was blue in the face

For holding one not 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

Sing johnny one note

Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd

Couldn't hear the flute

Or the big trombone

Everyone was mute

Johnny stood alone

Couldn't hear the brass

Couldn't hear the drum

He was in a class

By himself, by gum

Sing johnny one note

Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd
