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, Sang along, whod blame them? Youve grown (youre grown up) so grown (so grown up) Now I must say more than ever (come on Eileen) Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye Aye And we can sing just like our fathers Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means) 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) no not us (no never) We are far too young and clever (remember) Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye Eileen, Ill hum this tune forever Come on Eileen. Oh I swear (well he means) Ah come on lets, take off everything That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes) Ah come on lets, ah come on Eileen That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes) Ah come on lets, ah come on Eileen, please (Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye) Now you are grown, now you have shown Oh, Eileen Said come on Eileen, these things they are real And I know how you feel Now I must say more than ever Things round here will change. I said Too-ra-loo-ra too-ra-loo-rye-aye Come on Eileen, Oh I swear (well he means) At this moment, you mean everything You in that dress, my thoughts (I confess) Verge on dirty Ah come on Eileen Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means) At this moment, you mean everything (in that dress), whoa, my thoughts I confess Well, theyre dirty Come on Eileen
