Johnny could only sing one note,
and the note he sang was this
Ah! Poor Johnny One Note
He 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
like God
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 Bernie 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
All were jealous of Johnny's
big trill
But their 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,
Bout to rescue us!
Sing Johnny One Note,
sing out with gusto,
and just overwhelm us!
Love, love
So sing, Johnny, one note of love
Sing, Johnny, one note
Sing, Johnny, one note of love
Whooooooooooooooooooooooo!
