Lyrics for Song: Johnny One Note 
Lyrics for Album: Blossom Dearie [1956]
  
               
  27359>(Lorenz Hart/Richard Rodgers)
 
 
  Johnny could only sing one note
  And the note he sings was this
  Ah
 
 
  Poor Johnny one-note
  Sang out with gusto
  And just overlorded the place
  Poor Johnny one-note
  Yelled willy nilly
  Until he was blue in the face
  For holding one note was his ace
 
 
  Couldn't hear the brass
  Couldn't hear the drum
  He was in a class
  By himself, by gum
 
 
  Poor Johnny one-note
  Got in Aida
  Indeed a great chance to be brave
  He took his one note
  Howled like the North Wind
  Brought forth wind that made critics rave
  While Verdi turned round in his grave
 
 
  Couldn't hear the flute
  Or the big trombone
  Ev'ry one was mute
  Johnny stood alone
 
 
  Cats and dogs stopped yapping
  Lions in the zoo
  All were jealous of Johnny's big trill
  Thunder claps stopped clapping
  Traffic ceased its roar
  And they tell us Niagra stood still
 
 
  He stopped the train whistles
  Boat whistles
  Steam whistles
  Cop whistles
  All whistles bowed to his skill
 
 
  Sing Johnny One-Note,
  Sing out with gusto and
  Just overwhelm all the place
  Sing Jonny One Note
  Let's Hear That One Note
  Sing Jonny One Note Sing
