| 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', Yeah
|
| 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, yeah yeah, Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
|
| Don’t you know, don’t you 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 the 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, oh, yeah, Don’t you know that you are
|
| A shooting star, yeah

|
| As long as you are, a shooting star
|

|
| 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 you
|
| 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
|
| Oh oh oh, Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
|
| Don’t you know, yeah, don’t you know', Don’t you know that
|
| You are a shooting star
|
| Don’t you know, yeah

| Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
|
| Don’t you, don’t you
|

|
| Know, oh, yeah, you are
|
| Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh
