Johnny One Note

[BABY ROSE]
Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sang was this:

[BABY ROSE & ENSEMBLE]
Ah!

[BABY ROSE]
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

[ENSEMBLE]
Couldn't hear the brass

[BABY ROSE]
Couldn't hear the drum

[ENSEMBLE]
He was in a class

[BABY ROSE]
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
And Verdi turned round in his grave

[ENSEMBLE]
Couldn't hear the flute

[BABY ROSE]
Or the big trombone

[ENSEMBLE]
Everyone was mute

[BABY ROSE]
Shh, Johnny stood alone

Cats and dogs stopped yapping
Lions in the zoo
Were jealous of Johnny's big trill

[ENSEMBLE]
Ah!

[BABY ROSE]
Thunderclaps stopped clapping
Traffic ceased its roar
And they tell us Niagara stood still

[BABY ROSE & ENSEMBLE]
He stopped the train whistles (Ah)
Boat whistles (Ah)
Steam whistles (Ah)
Cop whistles (Ah)
All whistles bowed to his skill (Ah)

[ENSEMBLE & BABY ROSE]
Sing, Johnny One-Note (Ah!)
Sing out with gusto
And just overwhelm all the crowd

[BABY ROSE & ENSEMBLE]
Sing, Johnny One-Note (Ah!)
Sing out with gusto
And just overwhelm all the crowd

[BABY ROSE]
So sing, Johnny One-Note, out loud

[ENSEMBLE]
Sing, Johnny One-Note

[BABY ROSE]
Sing, Johnny One-Note

[ENSEMBLE]
Sing, Johnny One-Note

[BABY ROSE]
Sing, Johnny One-Note

[ENSEMBLE]
Sing, Johnny One-Note

[BABY ROSE]
Sing, Johnny One-Note

[ENSEMBLE]
Sing, Johnny One-Note

[BABY ROSE & ENSEMBLE]
Out loud!
