Lyrics

I thought of an old favorite - Come On Eileen during my Love blog post this week.
Which led me to a YouTube search to listen to it.
Which led me to realize that I couldn't remember all of the lyrics.
Which led me to looking up the lyrics.
Which led me to realize that I never really knew all of the lyrics.
Which led me to confess that I mumble the song every time I sang it.

Come On Eileen
by Dexy's Midnight Runners

(Come on Eileen)
(Come on Eileen)

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried, sang along, who'd blame them
Now you're grown (so grown up)
So grown (so grown up) now I must say more than ever
(Come on Eileen)
Toora loora toora loo rye aye
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, oh my thoughts I confess
Merge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

(Come on Eileen)

These people 'round here
Beat 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
I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)
Ah come on let's take off everything
Pretty red dress, oh Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
Pretty red dress, oh Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen

(Come on Eileen toora loo rye aye)
(Come on Eleen toora loo rye aye)
(Torra torra ta loo rye)
Now you have grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen
Said come on Eileen
Oh come on Eileen
We are far to young and clever,
Things randomly change, I said
Toora loora toora loo rye aye
Come on Eileen, Oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, Oh my thoughts I confess
Merge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen
Come on Eileen, Oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment you mean everything to me
You in that dress, Oh my thoughts I confess
Merge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen


Don't think I'll ever sing this sound the same way ever again.
Which leads me to wonder what other songs I mumble...

Namaste.
