My Favourite Songs - Part 2.

Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen

Come on Eileen

Come on Eileen

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're grown (so 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 aye

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

Wear beat down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces

They're resigned to what their fate is

But not us, (no never) no not us (no never)

We are far to young and clever

Remember

Too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye

And you'l 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, please

Come on Eileen too rye aye

Come on Eileen too rye aye

Now you're full grown

Now you have shown

Oh, Eileen

Said, 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

I say, too ra loo ra, too ra-loo rye aye

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

Aah, come on Eileen

Oh, 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
