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 (a grown up), so grown (so grown up), now I must say more than ever (come on eileen) Go toora loora toora loo rye aye And we can sing just like our fathers
[chorus]: Come on eileen, oh I swear (what he means) At these moments, you mean everything With you in that dress, oh my thoughts I confess Verge on dirty Ah 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 Go toora loora toora loo rye aye Eileen I'll hum this tune forever (x2)
Come on eileen oh I swear (what he means) Ah come on, let's take off everything That pretty red dress, oh eileen tell him yes Ah come on let's, ah come on eileen Come on eileen oh I swear (what he means) At these moments you mean everything
Come on eileen too-loo rye-aye Come on eileen too-loo rye-aye Toora toora-too-loora
We are far too young and clever And things wont ever change
Come on eileen, oh I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything to me
