Johnny One Note

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 overlorded 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 round in his grave
 Couldn't hear the flute, or the big trombone
 Every one was mute, Johnny stood alone
 Cats and dogs stopped yapping
 Lions in the zoo, all were jealous of Johnny's big trill
 Thunderclaps stopped clapping
 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
