Shooting Star (Live)

Well, Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song

"Love Me Do", I think it was, from there it didn't take him long

He got himself a guitar, he used to play every night

Now he's in a rock and roll outfit, everything's alright

Don't you know?

Well, Johnny told his mama,"Hey, mama I'm goin' away

I'm gonna hit the big time, I'm gonna be a big star someday"

Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye

Johnny said, "Don't cry, mama, smile and wave goodbye"

Don't you know?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Shinin' on, somewhere high above

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

And all the world will love you just as long, long as you are

But you know what?

Well, Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one

Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song, yeah-yeah

Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast

Johnny looked around him and said,"Hey! I made it big time at last"

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Shinin' on, somewhere high

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

All the world will love you just as long, long as you are

Hey!

Don't you know that you are a shooting stars?

Shinin' on, somewhere high, high

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

And all the world will love you just as long, long as you are

Easy man, easy man

Well, well, oh, well, well

Well, well, well

Well, my friends, my story didn't end there, no

I'm gonna sing a song, but I want you to sing along

I'm gonna sing a song, but I want you to sing along

Are you ready now?

I said, are you ready now?

Let it rain, babe, here we go

Well, Johnny died one night, died in his bed

A bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head

Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day, like today

If you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play

Don't you know? Everybody now

(Don't you know that you are a shooting star?)

(Don't you know?) I know! (Don't you know?)

(Don't you know that you are a shooting star?)

(Don't you know?) Beautiful people, it's all yours, can you take it?

(Don't you know that you are a shooting star?) Whoo!

(Don't you know?) I know! (Don't you know?)

(Don't you know that you are a shooting star?) Excellent

(Don't you know?)

Nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, whoa!

Nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah rock and roll go on

Play it, with your heart and soul

Whoo!

After four, I want you to give me a big "Whoo," are you ready?

Get ready, let's go, two, three, four, "Whoo!"

That's good, that's good

Let's do it again, two, three, four, whoa!

Now that's better, let's do another one

Here we go, two, three, four, "Whoo!"

Ah! Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Shinin' on forever

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

All the world will love you just as long, long as you are

Hey, shootin' star

Yeah, nice

You deserve a big round of applause

That was so good
