Come On Eileen (As It Should Have Sounded 2022)

Come on, Eileen

Come on, Eileen

Poor old Johnnie Ray

Sounded sad upon the radio

Moved a million hearts in mono

Our mothers cried

Sang along, who'd blame them?

You've grown (you're grown up)

So grown (so grown up)

Now I must say more than ever

(Come on, Eileen)

Too-ra-loo-ra

Too-ra-loo-rye-ay

And 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

Come on, Eileen

These people 'round here

Were beaten down, eyes sunk in smoke-dried face

They're so resigned to what their fate is

But not us (no never)

But not us (not ever)

We are far too young and clever

(Remember)

Too-ra-loo-ra

Too-ra-loo-rye-ay

And you'll hum this tune forever

Come on, Eileen

Oh, I swear (what he means)

Ah, come on, let's

Take off everything

That pretty red dress

Eileen (tell him yes)

Ah, come on, let's

Ah, come on, Eileen, please

That pretty red dress

Eileen (tell him yes)

Ah, come on, let's

Ah, come on, Eileen, please

(Come on, Eileen, too-rye-ay)

(Come on, Eileen, too-rye-ay)

Now you're full grown (too-ra)

And now you have shown (too-ra, ta-loo-ra)

Oh, Eileen

Said, come on, Eileen (come on, Eileen) (you've grown)

These things they are real and I know (ta-loo-rye-ay) (so grown)

How you feel (come on, Eileen, ta-loo-rye-ay)

Now I must say more than ever (too-ra, ta-loo-ra)

Things 'round here have changed

I said, too-ra-loo-ra (come on, Eileen, ta-loo-rye-ay)

Too-ra-loo-rye-ay (come on, Eileen, ta-loo-rye-ay)

(Too-ra, ta-loo-ra)

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

Come on, Eileen

Oh, I swear (what he means)

At this moment

You mean everything

In that dress

Oh, my thoughts I confess

Well, they're dirty

Come on, Eileen

Come on, Eileen

Whoa (what he means)

Whoa

Ah, come on, Eileen

Oh, believe me

If all those endearing young charms

That I gaze on so fondly today

Were to suddenly leave you, oh fly in the night

Just like fairy gifts gone in the sky
