Johnny One Note Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

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 

Thunder claps 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
