Poor old Johnny Ray, sounded sad upon the radio He moved a million hearts in mono Our mothers cried And sang along who'd blame them?
You've grown, so grown up Now I must say more than ever Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye Aye And we can sing just like our fathers
Come on Eileen oh I swear, well 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 taloo-rye-aye Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye Now you have grown, now you have shown, come on, Eileen Too-ra-loo-ra-too-ra-loo-rye-aye Too-ra-loo-ra-too-ra-loo-rye-aye We can sing this song forever
Come on Eileen oh I swear, well he means At this moment, you mean everything You in that dress, my thoughts I confess Verge on dirty Ah come on Eileen
