(Come On Eileen)
|
(Come On Eileen)
|
|
Poor old Johnny Ray
|
Sounded sad upon the radio
|
But he moved a million hearts in mono
|
Our mothers cried
|
Sang along
|
Who'd blame them
|
You've grown, so grown
|
Now I must say more than ever
|
(Come On Eileen)
|
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
|
And we can sing just like our fathers
|
|
Come on Eileen
|
Oh, I swear what he means (what 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
|
Wear beaten down eyes sunk
|
In smoke dried faces
|
They're so resigned to what their fate is
|
But not us (no not ever)
|
But not us (not ever)
|
We are far too young and clever
|
(Remember)
|
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
|
And you'll hum this tune forever
|
|
Come on Eileen
|
Oh, I swear what he means
|
Aah, come on let's
|
Take off everything
|
That pretty red dress
|
Eileen (tell him yes)
|
Aah, come on let's
|
Aah, come on Eileen
|
|
That pretty red dress
|
Eileen (tell him yes)
|
Aah, come on let's
|
Aah, come on Eileen
|
|
Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye
|
Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye
|
Now you're full grown
|
Now you have shown
|
Oh, Eileen
|
|
Say, come on Eileen
|
These things they are real and I know
|
How you feel
|
Now I must say more than ever
|
Things round here have changed
|
I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye
|
|
Come on Eileen
|
Oh, I swear (what he means)
|
At this moment, you mean everything
|
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
|
Which are dirty
|
Aah, come on Eileen
|
|
Aah, come on Eileen
|
Oh, I swear (what he means)
|
At this moment, you mean everything
|
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
|
Well, they're dirty
|
Come on Eileen
|
|
Come on Eileen...
