fiddle tune
come on eileen
come on eileen
poor old johnnie ray
sounded sad upon the radio
moved a million hearts in mono
our mothers cried
sang along who’d blame them

so grown so grown up
now i must say more than ever
come on eileen
tooraloora tooraloorye ay
and we can sing just like our fathers

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
were beaten down eyes sunk in smokedried face
they’re so resigned to what their fate is
but not us no never
but not us not ever
we are far too young and clever

tooraloora tooraloorye ay
and you’ll hum this tune forever oh
come on eileen
