Johnny could only sing one note And the note he sings was this - ah
Poor Johnny one-note Sang out with gusto And just overlorded 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, 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 Ev'ry one was mute Johnny stood alone
Cats and dogs stopped yapping Lions in the zoo All were jealous of Johnny's big trill Thunder claps stopped clapping Traffic ceased its roar And they tell us Niagra stood still
He stopped the train whistles Boat whistles Steam whistles Cop whistles All whistles bowed to his skill
Sing Johnny One-Note Sing out with gusto And just overwhelm all the place Sing Johnny One-Note Let's hear that one note Sail, Johnny Sail, Johnny Let's hear it ring Sing Johnny One-Note... Ring!
