Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen
------------------------------------------

Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen

Poor old Johnny Ray sounded sad upon the radio
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) toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen I swear (Well he means)
At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces so resigned to what their fate is
But not us no not us we are far too young and clever
(Remember) toora loora toora loo rye aye
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen I swear (Well he means)
Ah come on let's take off everything
Pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's ah come on Eileen
Pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's ah come on Eileen please

(Come on Eileen taloo rye aye)
(Come on Eileen taloo rye aye)
Now you have grown now you have shown oh Eileen
Said come on Eileen taloo rye aye (repeat in background)
You've grown
So grown (Show how you feel)
Now I must say more than ever
Things 'round here have changed
I said too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye

Come on Eileen I swear (Well he means)
At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen I swear (Well he means)
At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress my thoughts I confess
Well they're dirty
Come on Eileen
