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 & 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 & wave goodbye
Don't you know, yeah, yeah Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know, 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 sing the song Watching the world go by, surprisin' it goes so fast Johnny looked around him and said, Well, I made the big time at last
Don't you know, don't you know Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know, woah yeah Don't you know that you are a shooting star, yeah And all the world will love you just as long As long as you are, a shooting star

Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know, ahhh 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, you can still hear him play
Woah... Don't you know that you are a shooting star Don't you know, 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 Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know Don't you know you are a shooting star
