Johnny was a schoolboy   When he heard his first Beatles song   Love Me Do, I think it was   And from then 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 alright   Don't you know?      Johnny told his Mama,   "Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away   Gonna hit the big time,   Gonna be a big star someday"   Mama came to the door   With a teardrop in her eye   Johnny said, "Don't cry, Mama   Smile and wave goodbye"   Don't you know?      Yeah......      (Chorus)   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 the song   Watchin' the world go by   Surprisin' 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?      (Chorus)   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 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      (chorus)   Don't you know that You are a shooting star   Don't you know?   Don't you know that you are a shooting star   Dont you dont you dont you dont you dont you know   Don't you know that you are a shooting star
