(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sang was this:
Ah
Poor Johnny one note sang out with gusto
And just overloaded the place
Poor Johnny one note he yelled willy-nilly
Until he was blue in the face
For holding one not 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
Sing Johnny one note
Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd
Couldn`t hear the flute
Or the big trombone
Everyone was mute
Johnny stood alone
Couldn`t hear the brass
Couldn`t hear the drum
He was in a class
By himself, by gum
Sing Johnny one note
Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd
