Come On Eileen

Poor old Johnny Ray

Sounded sad upon the radio

He moved a million hearts in mono

Our mothers used to sing along who'd blame them

You're grown, so grown, 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 (what he means)

At this moment, you mean everything

With you in that dress oh 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

Resigned to what their fate is

But not us, no not us

We are far too young and clever

Remember

Eileen I'll sing this tune forever



Come on Eileen oh I swear (what he means)

Ah come on, let's take off everything

That pretty red dress oh Eileen (tell him yes)

Ah come on lets

Oh come on Eileen



We are far too young and clever

and things wont ever change



Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means)

At this moment, you mean everything to me



You mean everything
