Come On Eileen Originally recorded in 1983 by Dexys Midnight Runners, a pop-rock group from Birmingham, England fronted by singer Kevin Rowland.

(Come on Eileen!) (Come on Eileen!) 1. Poor old Johnny Ray Sounded sad upon the radio He moved a million hearts in mono Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them? Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever Go toora loora toora loo rye aye And we can sing just like our fathers .... Come on Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything With you in that dress, my thoughts (I confess) Verge on dirty ...... Ah, come on Eileen! (Come on Eileen!) (Come on Eileen!) 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 us We are far too young and clever Go toora loora toora loo rye aye Eileen, I'll sing this tune forever Come on, Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means) Ah come on, let's take off (everything) That pretty red dress .... Eileen (tell him yes) Ah, come on! Come on Eileen!!! Come on Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Go toora loora toora loo rye aye Come on Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything With you in that dress, my thoughts I confess Verge on dirty ...... Ah, come on Eileen! Come on, Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means) Ah come on, let's take off (everything) That pretty red dress .... Eileen (tell him yes) Ah, come on! Come on Eileen!!! Come on Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything Come on Eileen! Well, I swear (what he means) At this moment, you mean everything...
