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 '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."

Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye

Johnny said, "Don't cry, Mama," smiled and waved 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 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, 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......
