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'd blame them You're 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 oh 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 Resigned to what their fate is But not us, no not us We are far too young and clever Remember Eileen I'll sing 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 lets Oh come on Eileen
We are far too young and clever and things wont ever change
Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything to me
