Johnny One Note

Lyrics：Lorenz Hart Music：Richard Rodgers

Johnny could only sing one note

And the note he sings was this

Ah!

Poor Johnny one-note

sang out with "gusto"

And just overlorded the place

Poor Johnny one-note

yelled willy nilly

Until he was bleu 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

Ev’ry one was mute

Johnny stood alone.

Cats and dogs stopped yapping

Lions in the zoo

All were jealous of Johnny's big trill

Thunder claps　stopped clapping,

Traffic ceased its roar,

And they　tell us　Niag’ra 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!
