Lyrics
0:15Come on Eileen
0:20Poor old Johnnie Ray
0:25Sounded sad upon the radio
0:27Moved a million hearts in mono
0:30Our mothers cried
0:34Sang along who'd blame them
0:38You've grown
0:40You're grown up
0:41So grown
0:42So grown up
0:43Now I must say more than ever
0:47Come on Eileen
0:47Too-ra-loo-ra too-ra-loo-rye ay
0:54And we can sing just like our fathers
1:00Come on Eileen
1:01Oh I swear
1:03What he means
1:03At this moment you mean everything
1:09You in that dress
1:10My thoughts
1:11I confess
1:12Verge on dirty
1:14Oh come on Eileen
1:25Come on Eileen
1:30These people round here
1:35Were beaten down eyes sunk in smoke-dried face
1:37They're so resigned to what their fate is
1:39But not us
1:41No never
1:42But not us
1:43Not ever
1:44We are far too young and clever
1:48Remember
1:48Too-ra-loo-ra too-ra-loo-rye ay
1:55And you'll hum this tune forever oh
2:01Come on Eileen
2:02Oh I swear
2:03What he means
2:04Aah come on let's
2:07Take off everything
2:09That pretty red dress
2:11Eileen
2:12Tell him yes
2:12Aah come on let's
2:15Aah come on Eileen
2:21Come on Eileen tah-loo-rye-ay
2:25Come on Eileen tah-loo-rye-ay
2:29Now you're full grown
2:31Now you have shown
2:33Oh Eileen
2:36Say come on Eileen
2:38You've grown
2:41So grown
2:42How you feel
2:44Now I must say more than ever
2:48Things round here have changed
2:49I say too-ra-loo-ra too-ra-loo-rye-ay
2:59Come on Eileen
3:00Oh I swear
3:01What he means
3:02At this moment
3:04You mean everything
3:07You in that dress my thoughts I confess
3:10Verge on dirty
3:12Aah come on Eileen
3:14Aah come on Eileen
3:16Oh I swear
