Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine, he's got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola
He say, "I know you, you know me"
Come together, right now
Over me
He back production, he got walrus gumboot
He's got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
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
The lyrics to Aerosmith's song "Come Together" were originally written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles. The song's opening line, "Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly," is a reference to a 1950s hairstyle known as a "flat-top," which was popular among African American men at the time. The lyrics go on to describe the character's eccentric appearance and behavior, with lines like "He got ju-ju eyeballs" and "He got hair down to his knees."
The chorus of the song, "Come together, right now, over me," is a call for unity and solidarity. The song's narrator is urging listeners to put aside their differences and come together as one. The verses describe various peculiarities and quirks of the character, but the overall message is one of acceptance and celebration of individuality.
Aerosmith's version of "Come Together" was released in 1978 as part of their album "Live! Bootleg." The band's interpretation of the song gives it a more hard rock edge, with heavy guitar riffs and Steven Tyler's distinctive vocals. The song became a hit for the band and is still a popular classic rock song today.
