Johnny could only sing one note

And the note he sang was this

Ahh 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

Every 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 Niagara stood still He stopped the train whistles, boat whistles

Steam whistles, cop whistles

All whistles bowed to his skill

Ahh Sing Johnny one note, sing out with gusto

And just overlord all the crowd

So sing Johnny one note, out loud

Sing Johnny one note

Sing Johnny one note out loud
