Ah, come on let's
Ah, come on Eileen, please
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay
Now you are grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen
Say, 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-ra-loo-rye-ay
Sounded sad upon the radio
But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along
Who'd blame them?
You've grown (you're 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, ay
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
Oh, come on Eileen
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, never)
No, not us (no, never)
We are far too young and clever
Remember
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, ay
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
Ah, come on let's take off everything
Pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on let's
Ah, come on Eileen, please
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay
Now you are grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen
Say, 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-ra-loo-rye-ay
I only submitted the lyrics I misheard, but it might as well have been the whole song! We have a new winner for me, lol. ('Plate' is Irish slang for a low class of female company.)
