Poor old Johnny Ray

Sounded sad upon the radio moved a million hearts in mono
C Em
Our mothers cried

Sang along, who'd blame them

You're grown (you're grown up), so grown (so grown up)

C Em
These people round here
F
wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces,
C G
so resigned to what their fate is
C Em
but not us (no never) no not us (no never)
F C G
we are far too young and clever (remember)
C Em F
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye
C G
Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever
