Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first beatle song
Love me do i think it was. From there it didnt take him long
Got himself a guitar used to play it every night
Now he's in a rockn roll outfit and every things all right 
Dont ya know

Johnny told his mama mama i'm goin away
I'm gonna hit the big time gonna be a big star some today
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eyes
Johnny said dont cry mama smile and wave goodbye
Dont ya know

Dont ya know
Dont ya know that you are a shooting star
Dont ya know
Dont ya 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, surprised it goes so fast.
Johnny looked around and said well i made the big time at last

Dont ya know
Dont ya know that you are a shooting star
Dont ya know
Dont ya 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 his bed
Bottle of whiskey sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer's day
If you listen to the wind you cand hear him play
Don't you know, don't you know

Dont ya know
Dont ya know that you are a shooting star
Dont ya know
Dont ya know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long as long as you are
