Lyrics
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 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, yeah"
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "don't cry, mama, smile and wave 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
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, now don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, woh, 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, ahhh
Don't you know that you are a shooting star now
And all the world will love you just as long, as long as you are
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
Woh, oh, woh
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
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, huh, don't you know, oh, oh, that you are a shooting star
Woh-oh-woh, woh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woh-oh-woh, woh-oh-oh-wooh, woo
Don't you, don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you, don't you know, know, know, know, know
Know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, woo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, woo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, woo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, woo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Woh-oh-woh-woh-woh-woh
