Come on Elieen[00:06:32]
Compare this to the real chorus:[00:06:32]
Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)[00:06:32]
At this moment, you mean everything[00:06:32]
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess[00:06:32]
Verge on dirty[00:06:32]
Ah come on Eileen[00:06:32]
The verses are also a little difficult to understand mainly due to the[00:06:32]
Backing vocals frequently singing over the top of the lead singers words.[00:06:32]
Sometimes these backing vocals are repeating parts of the verse, at other[00:06:32]
Times they are adding in words. furthermore, some words are barely audible[00:06:32]
While others in the middle of the line tend to be stretched out - giving the[00:06:32]
Impression that it is either the last word in a line or the start of[00:06:32]
Another, when in fact it is in the middle.[00:06:32]
This vocal structure gives the song is characteristic sound, and makes it a[00:06:32]
Lot of fun to sing along. you don't really need to know the lyrics, just[00:06:32]
Throw in the occasional 'come on eileen', 'everything', 'torra loora rye[00:06:32]
Aye' and '..ess'. if you want a crack at the lyrics, here they are:[00:06:32]

Poor old Johnny Ray[00:06:32]
Sounded sad upon the radio[00:06:32]
He moved a million hearts in mono[00:06:32]
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them[00:06:32]
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever[00:06:32]
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye[00:06:32]
And we can sing just like our fathers[00:06:32]
Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)[00:06:32]
At this moment, you mean everything[00:06:32]
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess[00:06:32]
Verge on dirty[00:06:32]
Ah come on Eileen[00:06:32]
These people round here wear beaten down eyes[00:06:32]
Sunk in smoke dried faces[00:06:32]
They're so resigned to what their fate is[00:06:32]
But not us, no not us[00:06:32]
We are far too young and clever[00:06:32]
Eileen I'll sing this tune forever[00:06:32]
Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)[00:06:32]
Ah come on, let's take off everything[00:06:32]
That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)[00:06:32]
Ah come on Eileen[00:06:32]
