Come On Eileen (Dexy's Midnight Runners cover) Lyrics

Come on Eileen, come on EileenPoor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers used to sing along
Who'd blame them?You're grown
(You're grown up)
So grown
(So grown up)
Now I must say more than everCome on Eileen
Toora, loora, toora, loorye, aye
And we can sing just like our fathersCome on Eileen
Oh, I swear, well, he means
At this moment, you mean everythingYou in that dress
Oh, my thoughts, I confessed
Verge on the dirty
Ah, come on EileenCome on Eileen
These people round here
Wear beaten down eyes

Sun in smoke dried faces
Resigned to what their fate isBut not us
(No, never)
No, not us
(No, never)
We are far too young and clever
RememberToora, loora, toora, loorye, aye
Eileen, I'll let this tune forever
Toora, loora, toora, loorye, aye
Eileen, I'll let this tune foreverCome on Eileen
Oh, I swear, well, he means
Ah, come on let's take off everythingThat pretty red dress
Oh, Eileen tell him yes
Oh, come on let's, ah, come on EileenCome on Eileen
Oh, I swear, well, he means
At this moment you mean everythingCome on Eileen, tooloorye, aye
Come on Eileen, tooloorye, aye
Toora, toora tooloorye, oh, EileenI said, come on Eileen oh, come on Eileen
We are far too young and clever
And things won't ever change
And I say, toora, loora, toora loorye, ayeCome on Eileen
Oh, I swear, well, he means
At this moment, you mean everything to meOh, to me, oh, Eileen
You mean everything
