Anita O'Day - Johnny One Note lyrics

Johnny could only sing one note And the note he sang was this, aaaahh Poor johnny one note Sang out with gusto And just overloaded 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 bra** Couldn't hear the drum He was in a cla** 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 Cats and dogs stopped yapping Lions in the zoo Were all jealous of johnny's big thrill Thunderclaps stopped clapping Traffic ceased its roar And they tell us niag'ra stood still He stopped the trainwistles Boatwhistles Steamwhistles Copwhistles All whistles bowed to his sk** Sing johnny one note Sing out with gusto And just overwhelm all the crowd Aaaahh So sing, johnny one note out loud Sing, johnny one note Sing - johnny - one note - out loud
