Intro:
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who&#039;d blame them
You&#039;re grown (you&#039;re grown up)‎
So grown (so grown up)‎
Now I must say more than ever
(come on Eileen)
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye
And we can sing just
Like our fathers
Bridge:
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (well he means)‎
At this moment you mean everything
With you in that dress,
My thoughts (I confess)‎
Verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen
Bridge:
These people round here
Wear beaten-down eyes sunk
In smoke-dried faces
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
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye
Eileen, I&#039;ll hum this tune forever
Bridge:
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (well he means)‎
At this moment you mean everything
With you in that dress,
Oh Eileen, Tell him yes
Oh, Come On let&#039;s
Ah come on Eileen
Please
Come on, Eileen, too-loo
Rye-aye, come on
Now you&#039;re full grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen
Said Come on, Eileen
Too-loo rye-aye come on
Now I must say more than ever
Things round here have changed
I Said Too loo rye aye
Toora-too-loora rye-aye
Come on Eileen oh, I swear
Well he means
At this moment you mean everything
With you in that dress
My thoughts (I confess)‎
Verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen
