Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song, I think it was 'Love me do'. From there it didn't take him long. He got himself a guitar, used to play every night. Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit and everything's alright.
One day, Johnny told his mama, "Hey mama, I'm going away. I'm 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!", he smiled and wave goodbye.
Johnny made a record, and it 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'.
Johnny died one night, died in his bed. A bottle of whiskey and 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.
Don't you know that you are a shooting star? And all the world will love you just as long as you are a shooting star.
