Come on Eileen

Come on Eileen



Poor old Johnny Ray sounded sad upon the radio

He moved a million hearts in mono

Our mothers cried and sang along

Who could blame them?



Now you're grown, so grown

Now I must say more than ever

Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye Aye

And we can sing just like our fathers



Come on Eileen, oh, I swear what I mean

At this moment, you mean everything

You in that dress, my thoughts I confess

Verge on dirty, ah, come on Eileen



Come on Eileen



These people round here, wear beaten down eyes

Sunk in smoke dried faces, so resigned to what their fate is

But not us (no never) not us (no never)

We are far too young and clever (remember)

Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye

Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever



Come on Eileen, oh, I swear what I mean

Ah. come on let's, take off everything

Pretty red dress, Eileen yell me yes

Ah, come on let's, ah, come on Eileen

That pretty red dress, Eileen yell me yes

Ah, come on let's, ah, come on Eileen, please



Come on Eileen, Taloo-Rye-Aye

Come on Eileen, Taloo-Rye-Aye

Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh, Eileen



Come on Eileen, these things that are real

And I know how you feel

Now I must say its's not the day for regrets, Eileen, please



Oh, come on Eileen, this dress that you wear is all wrong

It makes me feel that now you have grown, you have shown

Oh, Eileen



Oh, come on Eileen, oh, I swear what I mean

Oh, come on let's, oh, come on Eileen

That dress that you wear, oh, matches your hair

At this moment, that means everything



Oh, come on Eileen, oh, I swear

Ah, come on let's, take off everything

Come on Eileen, oh, I swear what I mean....
