Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first Beatles song

"Love Me Do", I think it was and from there it didn't take him long

Got himself a guitar, used to play every night

Now he's in a rock & roll outfit, and everything's all right

Don't you know?

Johnny told his Momma, "Hey Momma I'm goin' away

I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday"

Momma came to the door with a tear drop in her eye

Johnny said, "Don't cry Momma 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, surprisin' 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, woah-yeah

Don't you know that you are a shooting star, yeah

And all the world will love you just as long

As long as you are, a shooting star

Don't you know that you are a shooting star

Don't you know, ahh

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, hey

Johnny died one night, died in his bed

Bottle of whiskey, sleepin' 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

Woah

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

Don't you know

Don't you know that you are a shooting star

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know

Don't you know you are a shooting star

No-whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa-oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh

Don't, don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Don't, don't you know, know, know, know

Know, know, know, know, know, know

Know, know, know, know, know, know

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, uh

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, uh
