Come on eileen

By men at work

Poor old johnny ray sounded sad upon the radio

He moved a million hearts in mono

Our mothers cried,

And 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
