Shooting Star

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 Momma, "Hey, Momma, I'm goin' away

I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday", yeah

Momma came to the door with a teardrop in her eye

Johnny said, "Don't cry, Momma," smiled and waved good-bye

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, don't you know?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star?

Don't you know, oh, 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, ahh-ahh

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 whiskey, 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

Oh-oh-oh

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?

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?

Don't you know-ow-ow that you are a shooting star, yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, 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
