Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Johnny was a schoolboy 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 'n' roll outfit and everything's all right
Don't you know?
[Verse 2]
Johnny told his Momma, "Hey, Momma, I'm goin' away
I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday", yeah
Momma came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "Don't cry, Momma," smiled and waved good-bye
Don't you know, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Don't you know that you are a shooting 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
[Verse 3]
Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly, everyone loved to hear him sing his song
Watching the world go by, surprising, it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said "Well, I made the big time at last"
Don't you know, don't you know?
[Chorus]
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know, oh, yeah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, yeah
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are, a shooting star
[Chorus]
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know, ahh-ahh
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, now
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
[Verse 4]
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping 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
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know, don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know?
[Chorus]
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-ow-ow that you are a shooting star, yeah
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, woo
Don't you, don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you, don't you know?
Know, know, know, know
Know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Know, know
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, whoo-ooh
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, whoo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, whoo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, whoo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
