What number hit from the early 1980s starts with the lyrics "Poor old Johnny Ray" and comes from the album Too-Rye-Ay?

The song "Come on Eileen" topped the Billboard chart in April, 1983, and was the only top 40 hit for the band Dexy's Midnight Runners. DMR - currently known just as Dexys - was a British band from Birmingham, and had success with this one track, becoming one of the most memorable songs of the entire decade. Sorry to break it to you, but there was no real Eileen.
