Come On Eileen
Die Original Knaller-Band Lyrics

Poor old Johnny Ray sounded sad upon the radio
Johnny Ray, although just a voice on the radio, conveyed a sense of sadness

Moved a million hearts in mono
Captivated and touched the hearts of countless people with his music

Our mothers cried, sang along, who'd blame them
Our mothers couldn't help but shed tears and sing along with his emotional songs, and who could blame them?

You're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever, come on Eileen
You've grown up and it's time for me to express my feelings more openly, so come on Eileen

Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
Let's sing joyful and sentimental tunes like our fathers did

And we can sing just like our fathers...
And we have the ability to sing just like our fathers did

Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
Come on Eileen, I promise (what's in his heart)

At this moment, you mean everything
In this moment, you mean everything to him

With you in that dress oh my thoughts I confess
With you wearing that dress, I must admit that my thoughts become rather provocative

Verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen
Bordering on impure, let's go for it Eileen

Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye
Come on Eileen and let's enjoy ourselves

Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye, toora toora-too-loora
Come on Eileen and let's have fun, singing joyful tunes

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
The people in this area have eyes that show weariness and defeat

Sunk in smoke dried faces
Their faces appear worn and dry due to the constant exposure to smoke

They're so resigned to what their fate is
They have completely accepted their destiny

But not us (no never), no not us (no never)
But we're different, we will not succumb to resignation

We are far too young and clever
We are youthful and intelligent

Remember, go toora loora toora loo rye aye
Remember, let's sing joyful and sentimental tunes

Eileen I'll hum this tune forever
Eileen, I'll forever hum this tune to express my affection

Ah come on, let's take off everything
Oh come on, let's let go of all inhibitions

That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
That beautiful red dress, Eileen, say yes to him

Ah come on let's, Ah come on Eileen
Oh come on, Eileen, let's embrace this moment

Please...
Please...

Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh Eileen
Now that you've grown up and demonstrated your maturity, oh Eileen

Come on Eileen, these things they are real and I know how you feel
Come on Eileen, these feelings and experiences are genuine, and I understand how you feel

Now I must say more than ever things round here have changed
Now, more than ever, I need to express that things have changed in our surroundings

Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye
Let's sing joyful and sentimental tunes

Ah come on, let's take off everything
Oh come on, let's let go of all inhibitions

That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
That beautiful red dress, Eileen, say yes to him

Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
Oh come on, let's embrace this moment

That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
That beautiful red dress, Eileen, say yes to him

Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
Oh come on, let's embrace this moment
