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 (everything)

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 face

Come on, Eileen

Oh, I swear (well, he means)

Ah, come on, let's

Take off everything

Pretty red dress

Eileen, tell him yes

Ah, come on, let's

Now you are grown, now you have shown (toora, toora, ta-loora)

Oh, ah, Eileen, said

Come on, Eileen

These things, they are real (come on, Eileen, ta-loo-rye-aye)

And I know how you feel (come on, Eileen, ta-loo-rye-aye)

Now I must say, more than ever (toora, toora, ta-loora)

Things 'round here have changed, I said

Toora, loora, toora, loo-rye-aye (come on, Eileen, ta-loo-rye-aye)

(Come on, Eileen, ta-loo-rye-aye, toora, toora, ta-loora)

Come on, Eileen

Oh, I swear (well, he means)

At this moment

You mean everything (everything)

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 (everything)

You in that dress

My thoughts, I con-
