Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers used
To sing 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)
Too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers
[Chorus]:
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
These people 'round here
Wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
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
Too ra loo ra too ra 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 less
Ah come on let's
Ah come on Eileen
Come on Eileen, oh I swear well he means
At this moment you mean everything
Come on Eileen too-loo rye aye
Come on Eileen too-loo rye aye
Too ra too ra too loo ra
Come on Eileen oh, I swear well he means
At this moment you mean everything to me
Oh to me, oh Eileen
You mean everything
