JOHNNY ONE NOTE
By Rogers & Hart
From Babes In Arms
Ella Fitzgerald, Barbra Streisand
Key: F & Ab


Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sings was this
Ah!

Key: F

4     -3  -2 -1*  1
Poor John-ny one-note 
-2    1   -2    3  1
sang out with "gus-to"
3    -3  1  -3  -3* 1  -3*   4
And just ov-er-load-ed the place
4     -3  -2 -1*  1
Poor John-ny one-note 
-2      1  -2  3  1
yelled wil-ly nil-ly
3  -3  1  -3   -3* 1  -3*   4
Un-til he was blue in the face
-3*  -3   2  -2   3   -1   2  -2
For hold-ing one note was his ace

-2    -2   2    2   -1*
Could-n’t hear the brass
2      2   2    2   -2
Could-n’t hear the drum
-2 -2  2  2  -1* -1* -1*  2    2  -2
He was in a class by him-self, by gum!
4     -3  -2 -1*  1
Poor John-ny one-note
-2  1 -2 3 1
Got in A-i-da
3   -3  1  -3     -3*   1 -3*  4
In-deed a great chance to be brave
4   -3  -2  -1*  1
He took his one note
-2      1   -2    3    1
Howled like the North Wind
3         -3   1    -3   -3*  1   -3*   4
Brought forth wind that made crit-ics rave,
-3*   -3  2   -2      3   -1  2   -2
While Ver-di turned round in his grave!
-2    -2   2    2   -1*
Could-n’t hear the flute
-1*-1*  2    2   -2   
Or the big trom-bone
-2  -2  2   2  -1*   -1* -1*   2   2  -2
Ev-‘ry one was mute, John-ny stood a-lone.

Key: Ab

-2    3   3*     2    -2   3
Cats and dogs stopped yap-ping
-2  3  3*  1  -1
Li-ons in the zoo
2   -1    2   -1   2  -1   2   -1    1
All were jeal-ous of John-ny's big trill
-2    3    3*     2     -2   3
Thun-der claps stopped clap-ping,
-2    3    3*    1   -1
Traf-fic ceased its roar,
2    -1    2  -1 2  -1   2   1     -2
And they tell us Ni-ag-‘ra stood still.
3*    3    -2    2     1    1
He stopped the train whist-les,
-2     1    1     2     1    1
Boat whist-les, steam whist-les,
-3    1    1
Cop whist-les, 
-3*    1   1   -4    1  1    4
all whist-les bowed to his skill

Key: F

4     -3  -2 -1*   1
Sing John-ny One-Note,
-2    1   -2    3   1   3
Sing out with "gus-to" and
-3   1  -3  -3*   1  -3*   4
Just ov-er-whelm all the crowd
4……… (8 ½ measures—use -4* also) 
Ah!
-3* -3    2  -2  3   -1    2   -2
So sing John-ny One-Note, out loud!!
-2     3  -3 -3*  4
Sing John-ny One-Note
4      4   4  4   4    4    4
Sing John-ny One-Note out loud!
