Johnny One Note Songtext
von Anita O’Day

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
Every one was mute, Johnny stood alone

Sing, Johnny one note
Sing out with gusto, and just overwhelm all the crowd
Ah!

Oh, sing Johnny one note out loud
Sing Johnny one note out loud
Sing, Johnny one note
Please, Johnny one note
Now make your one note cool
