Come on Eileen
These people round here wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces, so resigned to what their fate is
but not us (no never) no not us (no never) we are far too young and clever (remember)
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever
Come on, Eileen, oh 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
(half-speed, getting gradually faster)
D F#m G D A
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, come on Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loora)
Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh, Eileen
D F#m G D A
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, come on) (Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loora)
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
D F#m G D A
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, come on) (Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loora)
Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen oh, 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
(fading out)
