Dexys Midnight – Runners Come on Eileen Chords

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who’d blame them  
You’re grown (you’re grown up), so grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever  (come on Eileen)
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 every thing
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,
so re signed 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 every thing
That pretty red dress, Ei leen (tell him yes)
Ah come on let’s, ah come on Ei leen, please

(Come on Eileen too loo rye aye come on)
(Eileen too loo rye aye toora toora too loora)
Now you are grown, now you have shown, Oh Ei leen
Said, (Come on Eileen too loo rye aye come on)
Come on Eileen, These things they are real and I know how you feel
(Eileen too loo rye aye toora toora too loora)
Now I must say more than ever
Things round here have changed
Too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye  

Come on Eileen oh, I swear (well he means)
At this moment you mean every thing
With you in that dress, my thoughts (I confess)
Verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen
