Dexys Midnight Runners — Come on eilen

[Fiddle Tune] [Intro] Come on Eileen! Come on Eileen! [Verse 1] Poor old Johnny Ray Sounded sad upon the radio But he moved a million hearts in mono Our mothers cried Sang along Who'd blame them? You've grown, so grown 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 (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 Wear beaten down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces They're so resigned to what their fate is But not us (no not ever) But not us (not ever) We are far too young and clever (Remember) Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, ay And you'll hum this tune forever [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 Please [Bridge] (Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye) (Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye) Now you're full grown Now you have shown Oh, Eileen (Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye) (Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye) Say, come on Eileen These things they are real and I know How you feel Now I must say more than ever Things round here have changed (Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye) (Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye) 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 Which are 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, my thoughts I confess Well, they're dirty Come on Eileen [Chorus] Come on Eileen Oh, I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything [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
