Come Together
Kris Allen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please

He can't wear no shoeshine he got toe jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot Coca-Cola
He say I know you and you know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production, he got walrus gumboot
He 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, come together

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, come together right now
Come together right now over me, come together

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Kris Allen's "Come Together" seem to be a homage to The Beatles' iconic song of the same title. Allen captures the playful and nonsensical tone of the original track with his lyrics. The opening lines introduce us to the character of "flattop" who is a carefree individual, wearing his hair long and doing as he pleases. The lyrics also mention his unconventional attributes, such as his "joo-joo eyeball" and "monkey finger," which add to his quirky personality. The line "come together right now over me" seems to suggest a sense of communal unity despite our differences and individual quirks.
