Johnny was a schoolboy When he heard his first Beatles song

Love Me Do, I think it was And 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 alright

Johnny told his Mama, "Hey, Mama, I'm goin' 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, smile and wave goodbye"

Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one

Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song

Watchin' the world go by; surprisin' 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?

Chorus

Johnny died one night, died in his bed.

Bottle of whisky, 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. Woooooh
