Johnny One Note Lyrics - Anita O'day

Johnny could only sing one note 

And the note he sang was this, aaaahh 

Poor johnny one note 

Sang out with gusto 

And just overloaded 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 

Everyone was mute 

Johnny stood alone 

Cats and dogs stopped yapping 

Lions in the zoo 

Were all jealous of johnny's big thrill 

Thunderclaps stopped clapping 

Traffic ceased its roar 

And they tell us niag'ra stood still 

He stopped the trainwistles 

Boatwhistles 

Steamwhistles 

Copwhistles 

All whistles bowed to his skill 

Sing johnny one note 

Sing out with gusto 

And just overwhelm all the crowd 

Aaaahh 

So sing, johnny one note out loud 

Sing, johnny one note 

Sing - johnny - one note - out loud
