Johnny One Note (From Babes in Arms) Lyrics


Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sings was this, ahPoor Johnny, one note
Sang out with, "Gusto"
And just overlorded the placePoor Johnny, one note
Yelled willy nilly
Until he was blue in the faceFor holding one note was his ace
Couldn't hear the brass
Couldn't hear the drum
He was in a class by himself, by gumPoor Johnny, one note
Got in Aida
Indeed a great chance to be braveHe took his one note
Howled like the North Wind
Brought forth wind that made critics rave
While Verdi turned 'round in his graveCouldn't hear the flute
Or the big trombone
Ev'ry one was mute
Johnny stood aloneCats and dogs stopped yapping
Lions in the zoo, all were jealous of Johnny's big trill

Thunder claps stopped clapping
Traffic ceased its roarAnd they tell us Niag'ra stood still
He stopped the train whistles
Boat whistles, steam whistles, cop whistles
All whistles bowed to his skillSing Johnny one note
Sing out with, "Gusto"
And just overwhelm all the crowd
AhSo sing Johnny, one note, out loud
Sing Johnny, one note
Sing Johnny, one note out loud

The Supremes were a very successful motown all-female singing group active from 1959 until 1977, performing at various times doo-wop, pop, soul, broadway showtunes, psychedelia, and disco. One of Motown's signature acts, The Supremes were the most successful African-American musical act of the 1960s, recording twelve #1 hits between 1964 and 1969, many of them written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. The crossover success of the Supremes during the mid-1960s paved the way for future black soul and R&B acts to gain mainstream audiences both in the United States and overseas.

Founded in Detroit, Michigan, United States in 1959, The Supremes began as a quartet called The Primettes. Founding members Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown, all from the Brewster-Douglas public housing project in Detroit, were the sister act to The Primes (later The Temptations). In 1960, Barbara Martin replaced McGlown, and the group signed with Motown in 1961 as The Supremes. Martin left at the end of 1961, and Ross, Ballard, and Wilson carried on as a trio. After they achieved success in the mid-1960s with Ross as the lead singer, Motown president Berry Gordy renamed the group Diana Ross & the Supremes in 1967, and replaced Ballard with Cindy Birdsong. Ross left the group for a solo career in 1970, and was replaced by Jean Terrell. After 1972, the lineup of the Supremes changed frequently, with Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne, and Susaye Greene all becoming members before the group ended its eighteen-year existence in 1977.
