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?
Now you're grown (you're grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever (come on Eileen)
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen, well I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With 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-aye
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)
Ah come on let's, take off everything
That 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, Ei-leen too-loo rye-aye; Come on, Ei-leen too-loo rye-aye; too-ra toora too-loora)
Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh Eileen
(Come on, Ei-leen too-loo rye-aye; Come on, Ei-leen too-loo rye-aye; too-ra toora too-loora)
You're grown... (Said, come on Eileen, these things they are real...)
So grown... (...and I know how you feel)
Now I must say more than ever
Things 'round here will change
(Come on, Ei-leen too-loo rye-aye; Come on, Ei-leen too-loo rye-aye; too-ra toora too-loora)
I said Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye

Come on Eileen, well I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress, my thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
(in that dress), whoa my thoughts, I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on Eileen

Come on Eileen, ooh-hooh-hooh (well he means)
Oh-ho-ho-ho, ah come on, ah come on... (everything)
