(Come on, Eileen)

(Come on, Eileen)

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono.
Our mothers cried, and sang along and who'd 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,
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, 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
So resigned to what their fate is.
But 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 (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.

That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes),
Ah come on let's,
Ah come on, Eileen, please,

(Come on)
(Eileen too-loo rye aye)
(Come on)
(Eileen too-loo rye aye)
Now you have grown,
(Toora, toora, too-loora)
Now you have shown,
Oh, Eileen.

Come on Eileen,
These things they are real,
And I know how you feel,
Now I must say more than ever.
Things 'round here will change.
I said toora loora toora loo rye aye.

(Come on Eileen)
Oh I swear (what he means),
At this moment, you mean everything.
With you in that dress, my thoughts (I confess),
Verge on dirty.
Ah come on, Eileen.

Ah, 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),
Well, they're dirty.
(Come on, Eileen.)

(Come on, Eileen)
whoaaa-ohhhh-oh
(what he means)
whoaaa-oh-oh-oh
(everything)
ah, come on, ah come on, ah come on
