Come On Eileen

One, two, three, four

Come on, Eileen

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them?
You've grown (so grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
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 (well, he means)
At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts, I confess, verge on dirty
Oh, come on, Eileen

Come on, Eileen

These people 'round here
Were beaten down, eyes sunk in smoke-dried face
They're resigned to what their fate is
But no, not us (no, never)
No, not us (no, never)
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 (well, he means)
Ah, come on, let's take off everything
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, now you have shown (toora, toora, ta-loora)
Oh, Eileen, and I said
Come on, Eileen (come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye)

These things, they are real, and I know (come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye)
How you feel
Now I must say more than ever (toora, toora, ta-loora)
Things 'round here have changed, and I said
Toora, loora, toora, loo-rye-aye (come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye)
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye)

Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear (well, 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 (well, he means)
At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts, I confess
Well, they're dirty
Ah, come on, Eileen

(Come on, Eileen) you mean everything
(Come on, Eileen) so, come on, Eileen
