Lyrics Midnight Runners - 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 who'd blame them?

You've grown (your grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever (Come on Eileen)
Toora-loo-ra toora-loo-rye-ay
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
So resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no never)
No not us (no never)
We are far too young and clever (Remember)
Toora-loo-ra toora-loo-rye-ay
Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen,
Oh, I swear (well he means)
Ah come on let's
Take off everything (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

(Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay)
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay)
Now you are grown,
Now you have shown,
Oh, Eileen

Said
Come on, you've grown (Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay)
Show how you feel (Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay)
Now I must say more than ever (Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay)
Things 'round here have changed

I said too-ra-loo-ra (Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay)
Too-ra-loo-rye-ay (Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay)
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay)

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
Ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen,
Oh, I swear (well he means)
At this moment
You mean everything
(In that dress)
Whoa, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on Eileen
