Come on Eileen Lyrics

Come on, Eileen.
Come on, Eileen.

Poor old Johnny Ray, sounded sad upon the radio;
Broke a million hearts in mono.
Oh our mothers cried, sang along, who can blame th;;em?

You've grown (You're grown up)
So grown. (So grown up.)
Now I must say...

    pretty sure with the innuendo "with you in that dress, my thoughts i confess, verge on dirty", the song is about the adolescent desire to fuck.
