[Fiddle Tune]

[Intro]
Come on Eileen!
Come on Eileen!

[Verse 1]
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along
Who'd blame them?
You've grown, so grown
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

[Chorus]
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what he means (what he means)
At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress
My thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Oh, come on Eileen
(Come on Eileen!)

[Verse 2]
These people round here
Wear beaten down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no not ever)
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

[Chorus]
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what he means
Aah, come on let's
Take off everything
That pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes)
Aah, come on let's
Aah, come on Eileen
Please

[Bridge]
(Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye)
(Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye)
Now you're full grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen
(Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye)
(Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye)
Say, come on Eileen
These things they are real and I know
How you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things round here have changed
(Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye)
(Come on Eileen, too-rye-aye)
I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-ay
[Chorus]
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Which are dirty
Aah, come on Eileen

[Chorus]
Aah, come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on Eileen

[Chorus]
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything

[Outro]
Oh believe me if all those endearing young charms
That I gaze on so fondly today
Were to suddenly leave you, or fly in the night
Just like fairy gifts gone in the sky
