Come on, Eileen
Come on, Eileen
Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded
sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them?
You've grown (you'
re grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever
(Come on, Eileen)
Too-ra-loo-ra
Too-ra-loo-rye-ay
And we can sing just like our fathers
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (what 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
Were beaten down, eyes sunk in
smoke-dried face
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never)
But not us (not ever)
We are far too young and clever
(Remember)
Too-ra-loo-ra
Too-ra-loo-rye-ay
And you'll hum this tune forever
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
Ah, come on, let'
s
Take off everything
That
pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on, let'
s
Ah, come on, Eileen, please
That
pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on, let'
s
Ah, come on, Eileen, please
(Come on, Eileen, too-rye-ay)
(Come on, Eileen, too-rye-ay)
Now you're full grown (too-ra)
And now you have shown (too-ra,
ta-loo-ra)
Oh, Eileen
Said, come on, Eileen (come on, Eileen) (you've grown)
These things they are real and I know (
ta-loo-rye-ay) (so grown)
How you feel (come on, Eileen,
ta-loo-rye-ay)
Now I must say more than ever (too-ra,
ta-loo-ra)
Things 'round here have changed
I said, too-ra-loo-ra (come on, Eileen,
ta-loo-rye-ay)
Too-ra-loo-rye-ay (come on, Eileen,
ta-loo-rye-ay)
(Too-ra,
ta-loo-ra)
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what 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 (what he means)
At this moment
You
mean everything
In that dress
Oh, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on, Eileen
Come on, Eileen
Whoa (what he means)
Whoa
Ah, come on, Eileen
Oh, believe me
If all those endearing young chums
That I gaze on so fondly today
Were to suddenly leave you, oh fly in the night
Just like fairy gifts gone in the
sky
