Come on Eileen
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 would blame them?
You're grown,
(you're grown up)
so grown,
(so grown up)
now I must say more than ever
Come on Eileen
Toora loora toora loo rye aye
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
oh my thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah, come on Eileen
Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen

These people round here
wear beat'n 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
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
Oh, Eileen tell him yes
Ah, come on let's
Oh, come on Eileen

That pretty red dress
Oh, Eileen tell him yes
Ah, come on let's
Oh, come on Eileen

Come on Eileen
Too loo ayee, come on
Eileen, too loo rye aye
Toora toora too loo rah
Ooh oh Eileen

Come on Eileen
Too loo ayee, come on
Eileen, too loo rye aye
Toora toora too loo rah
Things won't ever change

Come on Eileen
Too loo ayee, come on
Eileen, too loo rye aye
Toora toora too loo rah

Come on Eileen
oh I swear what he means
At this moment,
you mean everything
You in that dress
oh 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
You in that dress
oh my thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah, come on Eileen
