Lyrics

Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sang was this
Ah
Poor Johnny One-Note
Sang out with gusto
And just over-laudered 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 right in his grave
Couldn't hear the flute
Or the big trombone
Everyone was mute
Johnny stood alone
Cats and dogs stopped yappin'
Lions in the zoo
All were jealous of Johnny's big trill
Thunder claps stopped clappin'
Traffic ceased its roar
And they tell us Niagara 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
Written by: Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers
