Come on Eileen - Dexy`s Midnight Runners
Poor old Johnny Ray sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried Sang along and who'd blame them
You're grown, so grown Now I must say more than ever
Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye And we can sing just like our fathers
Come on Eileen Well I swear (what 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 around here wear beaten down eyes
sunk in smoke dried faces They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us, no not us We are far too young and clever
Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye Eileen, I'll sing this tune forever
Come on, Eileen Well I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on lets ah come on Eileen (2x)
Come on Eileen too loo-rye-aye Come on Eileen too loo-rye-aye
Now you have grown Now you have shown, oh Eileen
Come on Eileen
These things they are real And I know how you feel
Now I must say more than ever Things round here have changed
I say too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen Oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment you mean everything
With you in that dress My thoughts I confess verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen
