Well, Johnny was a schoolboy
when he heard his first Beatles 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 and roll outfit, everything's alright
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Well, now
Johnny told his mama, "Hey, mama, I'm goin' away, yeah
I'm gonna hit the big time, I'm gonna be a big star someday"
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "Don't cry, mama, " smiled and waved goodbye
Don't you know?
Everybody wave
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Goodby, baby, yeah-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
Well, 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, "Hey!
I made the big time, I made the big time at last"
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Shinin' on forever, some will be there
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
Hey
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Shinin' on
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
All the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Well, well, oh well, oh well
Well, well
Well, my friends, my story's nearly at an end
I'm gonna sing a song, but I want you to sing along
I'm gonna sing a song, but I want you to sing along
Are you ready now?
Are you ready now?
Okay, that's good
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
A 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
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Come on, Wembley
