Johnny One Note Lyrics - The Supremes

(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart) 

Johnny could only sing one note 

And the note he sang was this: 

Ah 

Poor Johnny one note sang out with gusto 

And just overloaded the place 

Poor Johnny one note he yelled willy-nilly 

Until he was blue in the face 

For holding one not 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 

Everyone was mute 

Johnny stood alone 

Sing Johnny one note 

Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd 

Couldn't hear the flute 

Or the big trombone 

Everyone was mute 

Johnny stood alone

Couldn't hear the brass 

Couldn't hear the drum 

He was in a class 

By himself, by gum 

Sing Johnny one note 

Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd
