Johnny One-Note Lyrics

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 bleu 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.
