"Come On Eileen" lyrics

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers crying
Sang along, who would blame them

You're grown (so grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever
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

These people 'round here
With their beat down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
They're resigned to what their fate is

But not us, (no never) no not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever
Toora loora toora loo rye aye
I've been on this tune forever

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
Ah come on lets take off everything
That pretty red dress, oh Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
Pretty red dress, oh Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen

Come on, Eileen (toora)
Come on Eleen (toora)
Torra torra ta loo rye
Now you have grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen
Said come on
These things are real
So, how you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things won't ever change
I said

Toora loora toora loo rye aye

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
