Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen
Poor old Johnny Ray

Sounded sod
Upon the radio
Our mothers tried

To sing along,

Who'd bla me them
You're grown
So grown up

Now I must say
More than ever
Tu ra lu r0
Tu ra Iu ra 0y

When ya sing
Just like our fathers
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
Aw, come on Eileen
(Instrumental Break)
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, not us

We are far too young
And clever
Tu ra lu r0
Tu ra Iu ra 0y

I'll hum this tune
Forever
Come on Eileen,

Oh I swear
What he means
Oh come on, Iefs
Take up everything

Once you are dressed,

Oh Eileen
Oh, come on Iefs

Oh come on Eileen
And once

You are dressed,
Eileen tell me yes
Oh come on lefs,

Oh come on Eileen,
Please
Now you are grown

Now you have shown

Oh Eileen
Say come on Eileen

These things
That are real
Now I must say
More than ever

Things 'round here'
Change I say
Tu ra Iu ra

Tu ra lu r0 0y
Come on Eileen,
Oh I swear

When we meet
At this moment
You mean everything
And you in ihaf dress
My thoughts I confess

Which are dirty

Ah, come on Eileen
Come on Eileen,
Oh I swear

When we meet
At this moment
You mean everything
In that dress,
Oh my thoughts

I confess

Well, they're dirty,

Oh come on Eileen
Come on Eileen, oh oh

Oh oh oh,

Ah come on
Ah come on
Ah come on
