Lyrics

(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 (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, oh 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
Were 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)
Go 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, oh 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)
