Dexys Midnight Runners — Come On Eileen

[Fiddle Tune] [Intro] Come on Eileen! Come on Eileen! [Verse 1] Poor old Johnnie Ray Sounded sad upon the radio Moved a million hearts in mono Our mothers cried Sang along, who'd blame them? You've 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, ay And we can sing just like our fathers [Chorus] Come on Eileen Oh, I swear (What he means) At this moment you mean everything You in that dress My thoughts (I confess) Verge on dirty Oh, come on Eileen (Come on Eileen!) [Verse 2] These people round here Were beaten down, eyes sunk in smoke-dried face They're so resigned to what their fate is But not us (No never) But not us (Not ever) We are far too young and clever (Remember) Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, ay Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever, oh [Chorus] Come on Eileen Oh, I swear (What he means) Aah, come on let's Take off everything That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes) Aah, come on let's Aah, come on Eileen That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes) Aah, come on let's Aah, come on Eileen Please [Bridge] (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-ay) (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-ay) (Tooh rah, tooh ra, tah roo rah) Now you are grown Now you have shown Oh, Eileen (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-ay) (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-ay) (Tooh rah, tooh ra, tah roo rah) Say, come on Eileen (You’ve grown) These things they are real and I know (So grown) How you feel Now I must say more than ever Things round here have changed (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-aye) (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-aye) (Tooh rah, tooh ra, tah roo rah) I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-ay [Chorus] Come on Eileen Oh, I swear (What he means) At this moment You mean everything You in that dress, my thoughts I confess Verge on dirty Aah, come on Eileen [Chorus] Aah, come on Eileen Oh, I swear (What he means) At this moment, you mean everything You in that dress Oh, my thoughts I confess Well, they're dirty Come on Eileen [Chorus] Come on Eileen (Oh) What he means (Oh) You mean everything (Oh) (Come on! come on!) In that dress Oh [Outro] Oh believe me, if all those endearing young charms That I gaze on so fondly today Were to suddenly leave you, or fly in the night Just like fairy gifts gone in the sky
