101 Strings Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy rollers
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me
He bad production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me
He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
Cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
The lyrics to "Come Together" by the 101 Strings Orchestra describe a mysterious and eccentric character who goes by the nickname "old flat top." This character is described as grooving up slowly, with hair down to his knee and joo joo eyeballs. He is a holy roller with a carefree attitude who wears no shoeshine and has a talent for shooting Coca-Cola. He asserts that he knows the song's subject, and that the one thing he can tell them is that they need to be free. The chorus urges listeners to come together over him, with a repeated refrain of "come together, right now, over me."
The second verse is equally cryptic, with old flat top described as having a bad production and wearing walrus gumboot. He has an Ono sideboard and is a spinal cracker, with feet that start below his knees. He can hold you in his armchair and make you feel his disease, but the chorus repeats the call for listeners to come together over him. The final verse is a mix of surreal imagery with references to roller coasters, early warnings, muddy water, and Mojo filters. The song concludes with another repetition of the chorus, urging all to come together right now over "old flat top."

Greenleaves ....autor anónimo...emociona escucharlo
@user-tp5yb4hr4w
it put me to sleep, but i still love it.
@garymahon1955
Thank you for sharing this great music! Music that isnot allowed anymore on radio, sadly. A very dark sick time we are in now, where bad is exalted.
@nickatnoon6196
@gary...Not to be 'negative' but you are correct! Most 'pop/rock' music is of Satan! The 'beat' is designed to lower us less than the animals most of us eat! This 101 music LIFTS us out of the gutter for at least a short time!
@TFWelsh
Oh, can I relate...Satan ate my children! Ok, all but one, whom I don't really like anyhow...
@susanneseppo1817
I totally agree. I love, love this music. I remember listening to this music many years ago and I just now remembered and found it.
