| Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song
 | 
| 'Love me do,' I think it was. | 
| 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 mama, hey, 'Mama, I’m goin' away. | 
| I’m gonna hit the big
 | 
| Time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah
 | 
| Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
 | 
| Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave 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 the 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, yeah
 | 
| Don’t you know that you are a shooting star, now
 | 
| And all the world will love you just as long, As long you are you
 | 
| 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, yeah, don’t you know', Don’t you know that
 | 
| You are a shooting star
 | 
| Don’t you know, yeah
 | 
| 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, oh, yeah, you are
 | 
| Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh
 | 
| Oh oh oh oh…
 | 
| Don’t you, don’t you know
 | 
| That you are a shooting star
 | 
| Don’t you don’t you know… |
