(VERSE)
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 alright
Don't you know?
(VERSE)
Johnny told his Mama, Hey Mama I'm goin' away
I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday, yeah
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "Don't cry Mama smiled and 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
(VERSE)
Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said, Well, I made the big time at last
Don't you know, yeah yeah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, Whoa, yeah
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
A shooting star
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, ahhhhh haaaa
Don't you know that you are a shooting star now
And all the world will love you just as long as long as you are
(VERSE)
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
Whoa whoa whoa
(Chorus)
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
Na na na na na na na na na na ~
