Shooting Star

Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first Beatles song
Love me do, I think it was and from there it didnt take him long
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night
Now hes in a rock 'n' roll outfit, and everythings all right
Dont you know

Johnny told his momma, "Hey momma Im goin away
Im gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday"
Momma came to the door with a tear drop in her eye
Johnny said, "Dont cry momma smile and wave goodbye"

Dont you know
Dont you know that you are a shooting star
Dont you know
Dont 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 play the song
Watching the world go by, surprisin it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said
"Hey, I made the big time at last"

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

Dont 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, sleepin tablets by his head
Johnnys life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind sometime you can still hear him play

Dont you know
Dont you know that you are a shooting star
Dont you know, dont you
Dont you know that you are a shooting star

Dont you, dont you, dont you, dont you, don't you
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

Dont you know that you are a shooting star
Dont you, dont you, dont you, dont you
Dont you, dont you, dont you, dont you, dont you know
Dont you know that you are a, a shooting star
Dont you know that you are a shooting star
