Johnny was a schoolboy When he heard his first Beatle song 'Love Me Do', I think it was 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 Johnny told his mama 'Hey, mama, I'm goin' away I'm gonna hit the big time 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 good-bye' Don't you know Don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know, know Don't you know, 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 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 Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know, know Don't you know, 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 A shooting star Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know, know Don't you know, know Don't you know that you are a shooting star, now And all the world will love you just as long As long you are 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 Don't you know Don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know, know Don't you know, know Don't you know that you are a shooting star I said don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you Don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star I said don't you, I said don't you Don't you know that you are a shooting star Na na na na na na na na na na Don't you know, don't you know Na na na na na na na na na na Just a shooting star, yeah, just a shooting star Na na na na na na na na na na
