(richard rodgers/lorentz hart) | |
Johnny could only sing one note | |
And the note he sang was this: | |
Ah | |
Poor johnny one note sang out with gusto | |
And just overloaded the place | |
Poor johnny one note he yelled willy-nilly | |
Until he was blue in the face | |
For holding one not 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 | |
Everyone was mute | |
Johnny stood alone | |
Sing johnny one note | |
Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd | |
Couldn't hear the flute | |
Or the big trombone | |
Everyone was mute | |
Johnny stood alone | |
Couldn't hear the brass | |
Couldn't hear the drum | |
He was in a class | |
By himself, by gum | |
Sing johnny one note | |
Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd |
