Come On Eileen

(album: It Means Everything - 1997)

Come on, Eileen!
Come on, Eileen!

Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers used
To sing along
Who would blame them?

You're grown (you're grown up!)
So grown (so grown up!)
Now I must say more than ever
Come on Eileen!

Too-ra, loo-ra
Too-ra, loo-ra aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear, well, he means
At this moment
You mean everything

You in that dress
Oh, 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
Resigned to what their fate is
But not us (No never!)
No, not us (No never!)
We are far too young and clever
Remember!

Too-ra, loo-ra
Too-ra, loo-rye aye
Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever
Too-ra, loo-ra
Too-ra, loo-rye aye
Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever

Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear, well, he means
Ah come on, let's
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Oh, Eileen, tell him less
Ah, come on lets
Ah, come on Eileen
Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear, well, he means
At this moment
You mean everything

Come on, Eileen ta-loo rye aye
Come on, Eileen ta-loo rye aye
Too-ra, too-ra, ta-loo ra
Oh, Eileen
I said, come on, Eileen (Come on, Eileen ta-loo rye aye)
Oh, come on, Eileen (Come on, Eileen ta-loo rye aye)
We are far too young and clever (Toora, toora, ta-loora)
And things won't ever change
And I say
Too-ra loo-ra (Come on, Eileen ta-loo rye aye)
Too-ra loo-rye (Come on, Eileen ta-loo rye aye)
Aye! (Toora, toora, ta-loora)

Come on, Eileen
Oh, I swear, well he means
At this moment
You mean everything to me!
Oh, to me!
Whoa, Eileen!
You mean everything
