Shooting Star
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song
Love me do, I think it was
And them 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 is alright
Don't you know?
Johnny told his mama
"Hey mama, I'm going away
I'm gonna hit the big town
Gonna be a big star someday"
Mama came to the door
With a tear drop in her eye
Johnny said, "Don't cry, mama
Smile, I will be back"
Don't you know?
Chorus:
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
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 a song
Watchin' the world go by
Surprisin' it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and says,
"Well, I made the big-time at last"
Don't you know?
Chorus:
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know?
Ahh yeah...
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
Yeah a shooting star
SOLO
Chorus:
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 died one night, died in huis bed
Botlle 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, oohhh!
Chorus:
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know?
Ahh yeah...
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don'tyou,
Don't you know ohh?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?(Ohhh yeah...)
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
(Yeeeeaaahhh... Yeah a shooting star...)
