Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen
[Verse 2]
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio, he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers used
To sing along, who would blame them?
[Verse 3]
You're grown, so grown (You're grown now, so grown now)
Now I must say more than ever
Come on Eileen
[Verse 4]
Toora loora toora loo rye ay
And we can sing just like our fathers
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Come on Eileen
[Verse 7]
These people 'round here
With their beat down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
Just resigned to what their fate is
But not us, no, not us (No, not us, no, not us)
We are far too young and clever, remember
[Verse 8]
Toora loora toora loo rye ay
I've been on this tune forever
Toora loora toora loo rye ay
I live off this tune forever
[Verse 9]
Come on Eileen, oh, I swear what he means
Now come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress, oh, Eileen, tell him yes
Oh, come on, let's, oh, come on Eileen
[Verse 10]
Come on Eileen, oh, I swear what he means
At this moment, you mean everything
[Verse 11]
Come on Eileen, too loo ra ay
Come on Eileen, too loo ra ay
Doo ba, too ra, too loo ra
Oh, Eileen
[Verse 12]
I said, come on Eileen (Come on Eileen, too loo ra yeah)
Oh, come on Eileen (Come on Eileen, too loo ra yeah)
We are far too young and clever (Come on Eileen, too loo ra yeah)
And things won't ever change, and I say
[Verse 13]
Toora loora toora loo rye yeah
(Come on Eileen, too loo ra yeah)
(Come on Eileen, too loo ra yeah)
(Doo ba, too ra, too loo ra)
[Verse 14]
Come on Eileen, oh, I swear what he means
At this moment, you mean everything to me
Oh, to me
Whoa, Eileen
You mean everything
