Official music video by Dexy's Midnight Runners from 1982. I can't post the first minute of the music video for copyright reasons. Lyrics: Come on Eileen Oh, I swear (What he means) 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 smoke-dried 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 (Remember) Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, ay And you'll hum this tune forever, oh Come on Eileen Oh, I swear (What he means) Aah, come on let's Take off everything That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes) Aah, come on let's Aah, come on Eileen That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes) Aah, come on let's Aah, come on Eileen Please (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-ay) (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-ay) (Tooh rah, tooh ra, tah roo rye) Now you're full grown Now you have shown Oh, Eileen (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-ay) (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-ay) (Tooh rah, tooh ra, tah roo rye) Say, come on Eileen (You’ve grown) These things they are real and I know (So grown) How you feel Now I must say more than ever Things round here have changed (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-aye) (Come on Eileen, tah-loo-rye-aye) I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-ay Come on Eileen Oh, I swear (What he means) At this moment You mean everything You in that dress, my thoughts I confess Verge on dirty Aah, come on Eileen Aah, come on Eileen Oh, I swear (What he means) At this moment, you mean everything You in that dress Oh, my thoughts I confess Well, they're dirty Come on Eileen Come on Eileen (Oh) What he means (Oh) You mean everything (Oh) (Come on! come on!) In that dress Oh Oh believe me if all those endearing young charms That I gaze on so fondly today Were to suddenly leave you, or fly in the night Just like fairy gifts gone in the sky
