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, who'd blame them
You're grown (you're grown), so 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 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
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no no no), no not us (no no no)
We are far too young and clever (what that was)
Toora loora toora loo rye aye
Eileen, I'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
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on, let's, ah come on Eileen
(Come on Eileen, too-loo rye aye)
(Come on Eileen, too-loo rye aye)
Now you are grown (toora)
Now you have children (toora too-loora)
Oh, Eileen, said come on Eileen (come on)
There's things that I really wanna know (Eileen, too-loo rye aye)
How you feel (come on Eileen, too-loo rye aye)
Now I must say more than ever (toora, toora too-loora)
Things are never changed, I said
Toora (come on Eileen) loora (too-loo rye aye)
Toora (come on Eileen) loo rye aye (too-loo rye aye)
(Toora, toora too-loora)
Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment you mean everything
With 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, woh oh oh (what he means)
