Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come on Eileen
[Verse 2]
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio, moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them
You're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Come on Eileen
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-ra-aye
And we'll sing just like our fathers
[Verse 3]
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 4]
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Too-ra, too-ra, too-loo-ra
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Too-ra, too-ra, too-loo-ra
[Verse 5]
Come on Eileen
[Verse 6]
These people round here
Wear beat down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
They're resigned to what their fate is
Not us, not us
We are far to young and clever
Come on Eileen
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-ra-aye
I need to hum this tune forever
[Verse 7]
Come on Eileen, oh, I swear, what he means
Oh, come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress, uh, Eileen, tell me yes
Oh, come on, let's, oh, come on Eileen
[Verse 8]
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
(Now that you're gone, now you have grown, oh Eileen)
Too-ra, too-ra, too-ra, too-loo-ra
(You're gone) Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
(So gone) Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
(Now I'm lost and more than ever)
Too-ra, too-ra, too-loo-ra (Ooh, Eileen)
[Verse 9]
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
(Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-ra-aye)
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Too-ra, too-ra, too-loo-ra
[Verse 10]
Come on Eileen, oh, I swear, what he means
Oh, 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 11]
Come on Eileen, oh, I swear, what he means
Oh, 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
