Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sang 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
Ah!
So sing Johnny One-Note, out loud!!
Sing Johnny One-Note
Sing Johnny One-Note out loud!
