Johnny was a schoolboy

 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 'n' roll outfit

 And everything's alright

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"

 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?

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 his song

 Watchin' the world go by

Surprisin' 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

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 a shooting star 2x

Johnny died one night, died in his bed

 Bottle of whisky, 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

Woooooh

Don't you know that you are a shooting star

Don't you know 3x
