Come On Eileen (Dexy's Midnight Runners cover) Lyrics
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers used to sing along
Who'd blame them?
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
With you in that dress
Oh my thoughts, I confess, verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen
Come on, Eileen
These people 'round here
With their 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
Toora loora toora loo rye aye
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever
Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress, oh Eileen tell him yes
Ah come on let's, Ah come on Eileen
Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means
At this moment, you mean everything
Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye
Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye
Toora toora-too-loora
Woh, oh, Eileen
I said come on Eileen (Come on, Eileen, too-loora yeah)
I said come on Eileen (Eileen, too-loora yeah)
We are far too young and clever (toora toora-too-loora)
And things won't ever change
And I say...
Toora loora (Come on, Eileen too-loora)
Toora loo rye ayee (Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye)
(Toora toora too-loora)
Come on Eileen, oh I swear what he means
At this moment, you mean everything to me
Woh, oh, oh, to me
Woh, Eileen
You mean everything
sings along loudly
this song is badass live
This is the best cover of the best song in the world.
i love this song Mo's got a powerful voice
this sing rocks
This cover is so much better than the original
ok i thought this was songmeanings.com, not doyoulikethissong.com....whatever to me this song is about a guy wanting his girl (eileen) to "take off everything" and yeah...and ok the song rocks and i sing it at the top of my lungs and i got to do this awesome dance routine to it at this swing camp i was at. Does anybody know why they broke up and monique is going solo? Is she still gonna be SKA or is she going all pop?
oh and one more thing....Jimmy Fallon's version rocks too!
fuck off guitar chick, jesus.
Great cover
