Come On Eileen

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 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
