Johnny One Note

Johnny One Note - Ella Fitzgerald

Johnny could only sing one note

And the note he sings was this ah

Poor Johnny one note

Sang out with Gusto

And just overlorded the place

Poor Johnny one note

Yelled willy nilly

Until he was blue in the face

For holding one note was his ace

Couldn't hear the brass

Couldn't hear the drum

He was in a class by himself by gum

Poor Johnny one note

Got in Aida

Indeed a great chance to be brave

He took his one note

Howled like the North Wind

Brought forth wind that made critics rave

While Verdi turned 'round in his grave

Couldn't hear the flute

Or the big trombone

Ev'ry one was mute

Johnny stood alone

Cats and dogs stopped yapping

Lions in the zoo

All were jealous of Johnny's big trill

Thunder claps stopped clapping

Traffic ceased its roar

And they tell us Niag'ra stood still

He stopped the train whistles

Boat whistles steam whistles cop whistles

All whistles bowed to his skill

Sing Johnny one note

Sing out with Gusto

And just overwhelm all the crowd

So sing Johnny one note out loud

Sing Johnny one note

Sing Johnny one note out loud
