come on eileen!
come on eileen!
VERSE 1:
poor old “johnny ray”
Sounded sad upon the radio
But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along
Who’d blame them?
You’ve grown (you’re grown up)
So grown (so grown up).
Now I must say more than ever
Come on Eileen
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
And we can sing just like our fathers
REFRAIN:
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
Oh, come on Eileen
Come on Eileen
VERSE 2:
These people ’round here
Wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces
They’re 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
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
Eileen I’ll hum this tune forever
REFRAIN:
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what (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
Pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on let’s
Ah, come on Eileen, please
BRIDGE:
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Now you’re all grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen
say, 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
REFRAIN:
come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Which are dirty
Aah, come on Eileen
Aah, come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Well, they’re dirty
Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
at this moment, you mean everything
OUTRO:
oh believe me if for losing and dearing your chose
That I gazed on so firmly today
Where to side of will leave you were flying the night
just like fairy gifts gone in the sky
