DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS lyrics : "Come On Eileen"

(Come On Eileen)
(Come On Eileen)


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, aye
And we can sing just like our fathers


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)


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, aye
And you'll hum this tune forever


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

Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye

Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye
Now you're full grown
Now you have shown

Oh, Eileen

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
I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye


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


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

Come on Eileen...
