Come On Eileen

(Come On Eileen)
(Come On Eileen)

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
But he moved a million hearts in mono

Our mothers cried
Sang along
Who'd blame them

You've grown,
so grown
Now I must say more than ever
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what he means
At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty

Oh, come on Eileen

(Come On Eileen)

These people round here
Wear beaten-down eyes
sunk in smoke-dried faces
They're so resigned
to what their fate is

But not us
No, not us
We are far too young
and clever
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
And you'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what he means
Aah, come on let's
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Eileen
Aah, come on let's
Aah, come on Eileen

That pretty red dress
Eileen
Aah, come on let's
Aah, come on Eileen

Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Now you're full grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen

Say, come on Eileen
These things they are real and I know
How you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things round here have changed
I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress,
my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Aah, come on Eileen

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress,
my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Aah, come on Eileen
