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
