Dexys Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen

Dexys Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen

Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen

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 Aileen)

Toora loora toora loo rye ay

And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means

At this moment, you mean everything

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 ay

Eileen I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means

Ah come on let's, take off everything

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 ay

Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay

Now you have grown, now you have shown

Oh, Eileen

Said-

Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay

Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay

Now I must say more than ever

Things round here change

I said toora loora, toora loo rye ay

Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means

At this moment, you mean everything

You in that dress, 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

In that dress, oh my thoughts I confess

Well, they're dirty, on Eileen

Come on Eileen, whoa what he means

Oh oh oh

Ah come on, (Everything) ah, come on, ah, come on

In that dress, oh oh oh, I confess...

Oh, believe me, if all those endearing young charms

That I gaze on so fondly today

Were to suddenly leave you upflight in the night

Just like fairy gifts up in the sky
