DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS Come On Eilleen


Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along
and who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown,
now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen,
well I swear
what he means
At this moment,
you mean everything
With you in that dress
my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah 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 us
We are far too young and clever
Eileen I'll sing this tune forever

Come on Eileen well I swear
what he means
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen
tell him yes
Ah come on Eileen
