[Verse 1]
She was driving down the center of the avenue
In the middle of a hurricane
She got struck by lightning
And it blacked out both her eyes
[Verse 2]
She swerved her car into a traffic light
While an ambulance drove by
And the blood ran down her cheeks
As she began to sing
[Chorus]
All the people have a star that shines for them
Some are bright and some are dim
Mine is very, very grim
And nobody has ever been kind to me
[Verse 3]
My namе is Johnny Rosemary
And I see this is a hairy situation that you find yourself in
Drink of this tonic
And you'll be back on it in no timе
[Verse 4]
She said Mr Rosemary
I shall not tarry
I really will try anything
And the tonic, it tasted much more than sublime
[Chorus]
All the people have a star that shines for them
Some are bright and some are dim
Mine is very, very grim
And nobody has ever been kind to me
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 5]
Johnny helped the dying lady out of her car
And she revealed her enormous wings
She flew up high and she said goodbye to him
It made old Johnny cry to see her fly
Across the purple sky
He said, I wish that I knew her name I would shout it
Right up in the hurricane and so loud that
It'd shatter every window pane
In old New Orleans
