Come On Eileen Lyrics

[00:22.24] Come on Eileen
[00:25.44]
[00:28.57] Come on Eileen
[00:31.62]
[00:38.87] Poor old Johnny Ray
[00:44.48] Sounded sad upon the radio
[00:47.23] Moved a million hearts in mono
[00:49.93] Our mothers cried
[00:54.18] Sang along, who'd blame them?
[00:57.66] You're grown (you're grown up)
[01:01.02] So grown (so grown up)
[01:03.47] Now I must say more than ever
[01:06.62] (Come on Eileen)
[01:08.16] Toora loora toora loo rye ay
[01:13.91] And we can sing just like our fathers
[01:16.67] Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means
[01:23.53] At this moment, you mean everything
[01:28.76] You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
[01:32.16] Verge on dirty, ah, come on Eileen
[01:36.91] Come on Eileen
[01:44.28]
[01:51.49] These people round here
[01:54.33] Wear beatdown eyes sunk in smoke dried face
[01:57.32] So resigned to what their fate is
[01:59.97] But not us (no never)
[02:01.22] No not us (no never)
[02:03.63] We are far too young and clever
[02:07.34] (Remember)
[02:08.63] Toora loora, toora loo rye ay
[02:13.70] Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever
[02:16.89] Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
[02:23.99] Ah come on let's, take off everything
[02:28.17] Pretty red dress, Eileen, tell him yes
[02:32.46] Ah come on let's, ah, come on Eileen
[02:37.43] That pretty red dress, Eileen, tell him yes
[02:40.84] Ah, come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please
[02:47.74] Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay
[02:53.02] Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay
[02:57.27] Now you have grown, and now you have shown
[03:00.98] Oh, Eileen
[03:03.80] Said
[03:05.94] Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay
[03:08.80] Come on Eileen, too loo rye ay
[03:12.37] Now I must say more than ever
[03:16.26] Things round here change
[03:17.67] I said, toora loora, toora loo rye ay
[03:22.87] Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means
[03:29.73] At this moment, you mean everything
[03:34.20] You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
[03:37.63] Verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen
[03:42.40] Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means
[03:45.52] At this moment, you mean everything
[03:50.83] In that dress, oh my thoughts, I confess
[03:53.54] Well, they're dirty, come on Eileen
[03:56.94] Come on Eileen
[03:58.07]
