Originally the song "Come on Eileen" was written and performed by Dexys Midnight Runners.
The song has since been covered by artists including Save Ferris (often confused with No Doubt or Reel Big Fish), Skyclad, the Atlantic Canadian band Kilt, Blackthorn, the Japanese band nil, and Badly Drawn Boy.
Lyrics:
Come on Eileen
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers
Come on Eileen, well I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen
These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces
They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us, no not us
We are far too young and clever
Eileen I'll sing this tune forever
Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)
Ah come on, let's take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on Eileen
===============================
There you go....

might need to narrow it down a bit...there are tons of songs with those lyrics, however, "What goes around comes around" happens to be the title of a Lenny Kravitz song that also contains the same lyrics. Not really pop, but then I can't think of any pop songs with that line in it.
