Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen Lyrics




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'll hum this tune forever
+
Come on, Eileen, oh, I swear (what 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
+
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
+
Ah come on let's, 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 raloo 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
+
Ah, 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
+

"Come On Eileen" is a song by the English group Dexys Midnight Runners (credited to Dexys Midnight Runners and the Emerald Express), released in the United Kingdom in June 1982 as a single from their second studio album Too-Rye-Ay.

It reached number one in the United States and was their second number one hit in the UK, following 1980's "Geno". The song was produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley and was initially claimed to be written by Kevin Rowland, Jim Paterson and Billy Adams, although Rowland later stated that the essence of the tune should be attributed to Kevin Archer.

It was ranked number eighteen on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the '80s" and was Britain's best-selling single of 1982.
