COME ON EILEEN by Dexys Midnight Runners

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

(You're grown up)

So grown

(So grown up)

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 well he means at this moment

You mean ev'rything

With you in that dress my thoughts I confess

Verge on dirty

Ah come on Eileen

These people round here

Wear beaten down eyes

Sunk in smoke dried faces

Resign'd to what their fate is

But not us

No not us

We are far too young and clever

Remember too-ra, loo-ra, too-ra, loo-rye aye

Eileen I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen

Oh I swear well he means aah come on

Let's take off ev'rything

That pretty red dress Eileen

Tell him less

Aah come on let's

Ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen

Too-loo-rye aye

Come on Eileen

Too-loo-rye aye too-ra

Too-ra, too-loo-ra

Oh Eileen
