Johnny was a schoolboyWhen he heard his first Beatles songLove Me Do, I think it wasAnd from then it didn’t take him longGot himself a guitarUsed to play every nightNow he’s in a rock ‘n’ roll outfitAnd everything’s alrightDon’t you know?Johnny told his Mama, »Hey, Mama, I’m goin’ awayGonna hit the big timeGonna be a big star someday »Mama came to the doorWith a teardrop in her eyeJohnny said, « Don’t cry, MamaSmile and wave goodbye »Don’t you know?Yeah……(Chorus)Don’t you know that you are a shooting starDon’t you knowDon’t you knowDon’t you know that you are a shooting starAnd all the world will love you just as longAs long as you areJohnny made a recordWent straight up to number oneSuddenly everyone lovedTo hear him sing the songWatchin’ the world go bySurprisin’ it goes so fastJohnny looked around him and said, »Well, I made the big-time at last »Don’t you know?Don’t you know?(Chorus)A shooting starDon’t you know that You are a shooting starDon’t you know?Don’t you know that You are a shooting starAnd all the world will love you just as longas long as you areJohnny died one night, died in his bedBottle of whisky, sleeping tablets by his headJohnny’s life passed him by like a warm summer dayIf you listen to the wind you can still hear him play(chorus)Don’t you know that You are a shooting starDon’t you know?Don’t you know that you are a shooting starDont you dont you dont you dont you dont you knowDon’t you know that you are a shooting star
