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......
