Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen 1983 ----------------------------- Poor old Johnny Ray Sounded sad upon the radio with a million hearts in mono Our mothers cried and sang along, who'd blame them? You've grown, so grow, now I must say more than ever Toora loora toora loo rye aye We can sing just like our fathers... Come on Eileen Oh I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything You in that dress My thoughts (I confess) Verge on dirty... Ah come on Eileen These people round here With their down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces So resigned to what their fate is But not us (no never) No not us, we are far too young and clever Toora loora toora loo rye aye Eileen I'll hum this tune forever Come on Eileen Oh I swear (what he means) Ah come on lets take off everything That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes) Ah come on lets... Ah come on Eileen That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes) Ah come on lets... Ah come on Eileen *repeat chorus*
