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 'n' 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 goodbye"
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
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 play the song
Watching the world go by, surprisin? it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said
"Hey, I made the big time at last"
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
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
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 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 sometime you can still hear him play
Don?t you know
Don?t you know that you are a shooting star
Don?t you know, don?t you
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
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
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, don?t you, don?t you, don?t you, don?t you know
Don?t you know that you are a, a shooting star
Don?t you know that you are a shooting star
