Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen

Poor old Johny Ray sounded sad upon the radio
he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along who'd blame them
You're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Say Too-Ra-Loo-Ra Too-Ra-Loo-Rye-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 my thoughts I confess verge on dirty,
oh 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
Go 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
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 Taloora,eh, come on Eileen Taloora
Now you have grown now you have shown,oh, Eileen
come on Eileen, Eileen Taloora, eh, come on Eileen Taloora
Now I must say more than ever things 'round here change
I say Too-Ra-Loo-Ra Too-Ra -Loo-Rye-Aye

peace, Gunnar

As given on the CD-cover (but they say themselves "The words here vary
slightly from the ones you'll hear on the record. We have
intentionally presented them this way to make them easier to read."):

COME ON EILEEN

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, I swear (well 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 dries faces they're so resigned to what their fate is.
But not us, no not us, we are far too young and clever.
Remeber 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.
That pretty red dress (Tell his yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please.
