Song by Dexys Midnight Runners<br /><br>

Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! ... <br>

<br>

Back in '68 in a sweaty club <br>

Oh, Geno <br>

Before Jimmy's Machine and The Rocksteady Rub <br>

Oh-oh-oh Geno-o <br>

On a night when flowers didn't suit my shoes <br>

After a week of flunkin' and bunkin' school <br>

The lowest head in the crowd that night <br>

Just practicin' steps and keepin' outta the fights <br>

<br>

Academic inspiration, you gave me none <br>

But you were Michael the lover <br>

The fighter that won <br>

But now just look at me <br>

I'm looking down at you <br>

No, I’m not bein’ flash <br>

It’s what I’m built to do <br>

<br>

That man took the stage, his towel was swingin' high <br>

Oh Geno <br>

This man was my bombers, my Dexy's, my high <br>

Oh-oh-oh Geno-o <br>

The crowd they all hailed you, and chanted your name <br>

But they never knew like we knew <br>

Me and you were the same <br>

And now you're all over, your song is so tame, brrrrr <br>

You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name <br>

<br>

Academic inspiration, you gave me none <br>

You were Michael the lover <br>

The fighter that won <br>

But now just look at me <br>

I'm looking down at you <br>

No, I’m not bein’ flash <br>

It’s what I’m built to do <br>

<br>

Oh Geno, Woh-oh-oh Geno-o <br>

Oh Geno, Woh-oh-oh Geno-o<br>

<br>
