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
Whod blame them
Youve grown, (Youve grown) so grown (so grown)
Now I must say more than ever
(Come On Eileen)
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 (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
Theyre so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no not ever)
But not us (not ever)
We are far too young and clever
(Remember)
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
And youll hum this tune forever
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what he means
Aah, come on lets
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Aah, come on lets
Aah, come on Eileen
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Aah, come on lets
Aah, come on Eileen
Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye
Come on Eileen, too -rye-aye
Now youre 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 (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Which are dirty
Aah, come on Eileen
Aah, come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Well, theyre dirty
Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen...
