Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Lyrics

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
I swear (well he means) At this moment you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

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
Remember Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen, I swear, well 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
