Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them
Your grown (Your 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
We'll can sing just like our fathers
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (What he means)
In this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Oh, come on Eileen
(Come On Eileen)
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 hum this tune forever
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (What he means)
Oh, come on let's
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Eileen (Tell him yes)
Oh, come on let's
Oh, come on Eileen
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
(Come on)
(Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye)
(Come on)
(Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye)
Now you're full grown (Too-ra)
Now you have shown (-loo-ra, too-loo-ra, aye)
Oh, Eileen
Your grown (Come on, Eileen Too-loo-ra, aye)
So grown (Come on, Eileen Too-loo-ra, aye)
Now I must say more than ever (Too-ra, loo-ra, too-loo-ra, aye)
Things randomly changed
I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye
(Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye)
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (What he means)
In this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress,
Oh my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Oh, come on Eileen
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (What he means)
Oh come on lets
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Eileen (Tell him yes)
Come on
Come on Eileen...
