Johnny could only sing one note, And the note he sings was this. Ah!
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 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. Thunderclaps 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.
Sing Johnny one note, Sing out with gusto and Just overwhelm all the crowd. Ah!
So sing Johnny one note, out loud! Sing Johnny one note. Sing Johnny one note out loud!
