Come Together
Joe Cocker and Martin Luther McCoy Lyrics

Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly
A man with long hair and a certain style appears, making his way towards the singer

He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller
This man has an intense and unique gaze, as well as a devout faith in a higher power

He got hair down to his knee
The man's hair is incredibly long, reaching down to his knee

Got to be a joker he just do what he please
The artist believes this man to be a wild card, someone who lives life on their own terms

He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football
The man doesn't wear fancy shoes or care about maintaining his appearance, and is instead into sports that might get dirty and messy

He got monkey finger, he shoot coca-cola
The man has nimble fingers and fast reflexes, capable of doing some impressive things like shoot a stream of soda from a container

He say 'I know you, you know me'
The man claims to know the singer, and suggests that the reverse is true as well

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
The man insists that the artist should prioritize their own freedom and independence

Come together right now over me
The man urges everyone to come together and unify around him

He bag production, he got walrus gumboot
This man has some strange and eclectic possessions, like a bag of mysterious content and a type of boot that resembles a walrus

He got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
The man owns a piece of furniture that bears Yoko Ono's name, and has a way of getting into others' heads or causing them discomfort

He got feet down below his knee
This man has oddly-placed feet, located further down his legs than is typical

Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
If this man were to hold someone in his chair, they would begin to feel unwell, which could be interpreted as a metaphorical disease he carries

He roller-coaster, he got early warning
This man's personality and actions can be likened to a rollercoaster ride, and he seems to have some ability to foresee danger or predict the future

He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
The man has access to water that has dirt and impurities, and can also imbue situations with a magical or supernatural power

He say 'One and one and one is three'
The man argues that when it comes to relationships or group dynamics, three people can be just as important and significant as two

Got to be good-looking cos he's so hard to see
This man is somewhat elusive and difficult to perceive, so he must have a striking appearance to make up for it

Come together right now over me
Once again, the man calls for everyone to gather together and focus their attention on him
