Lyrics

Now you have shown
[00:39.59] Poor old Johnny Ray
[00:43.43] Sounded sad upon the radio
[00:45.79] But he moved a million hearts in mono
[00:49.01] Our mothers cried
[00:52.59] Sang along
[00:53.78] Who'd blame them
[00:57.45] You've grown, (You've grown) so grown (so grown)
[01:01.69] Now I must say more than ever
[01:05.44] (Come On Eileen)
[01:06.48] Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
[01:12.86] And we can sing just like our fathers
[01:18.70] Come on Eileen
[01:20.32] Oh, I swear what he means (what he means)
[01:22.75] At this moment you mean everything
[01:27.33] You in that dress
[01:29.61] My thoughts I confess
[01:31.15] Verge on dirty
[01:32.85] Oh, come on Eileen
[01:49.31] These people round here
[01:53.13] Wear beaten down eyes sunk
[01:55.53] In smoke dried faces
[01:59.24] They're so resigned to what their fate is
[01:57.63] But not us (no not ever)
[01:59.53] But not us (not ever)
[02:02.32] We are far too young and clever
[02:07.00] Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
[02:14.74] And you'll hum this tune forever
[02:19.14] Come on Eileen
[02:20.85] Oh, I swear what he means
[02:22.86] Aah, come on let's
[02:24.73] Take off everything
[02:27.07] That pretty red dress
[02:28.95] Eileen (tell him yes)
[02:30.90] Aah, come on let's
[02:32.95] Aah, come on Eileen
[02:35.70] That pretty red dress
[02:37.60] Eileen (tell him yes)
[02:39.30] Aah, come on let's
[02:41.50] Aah, come on Eileen
[02:47.66] Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye
[02:51.67] Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye
[02:55.43] Oh, Eileen
[02:56.62] Now you're full grown
[02:57.19] Say, come on Eileen
[03:05.26] These things they are real and I know
[03:08.52] How you feel
[03:10.88] Now I must say more than ever
[03:14.44] Things round here have changed
[03:16.07] I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye
[03:25.39] Come on Eileen
[03:27.18] Oh, I swear (what he means)
[03:28.59] At this moment, you mean everything
[03:33.09] You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
[03:36.53] Which are dirty
[03:38.36] Aah, come on Eileen
[03:41.18] Aah, come on Eileen
[03:42.59] Oh, I swear (what he means)
[03:44.31] At this moment, you mean everything
[03:49.69] You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
[03:52.31] Well, they're dirty...
[03:55.43] Come on Eileen...
