(originally by Bad Company) |
|
Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first |
|
Beatle song, ' |
|
Love me do,' |
|
I think it was. |
|
From there it didn't take him long. |
|
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night, |
|
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit, |
|
And everything's all right, don't you know? |
|
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, smile and wave good-bye'. |
|
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, surprising 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, oh, 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, yeah, |
|
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, now, |
|
And all the world will love you just as long, |
|
As long you are you. |
|
Johnny died one night, died in his bed, |
|
Bottle of whiskey, |
|
Sleeping 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 |
|
Oh oh oh, |
|
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, |
|
Don't you know, yeah, don't you know', |
|
Don't you know that |
|
You are a shooting star, |
|
Don't you know, yeah, |
|
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, oh, yeah, you are, |
|
Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh |
|
Oh oh oh oh...... |
|
Don't you, don't you know |
|
That you are a shooting star, |
|
Don't you don't you know...... |
