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

The lyrics to Les Boréades's song "Come Together" are a reflection on the counterculture movement of the 1960s. The song opens with the introduction of a character, "old flat top," who is described as groovy and unconventional. The lyrics then go on to describe the various eccentricities and individualistic traits of the character. Despite this, the song emphasizes the importance of coming together, right now, over the character.
The song's lyrics encourage individuality and freedom, but still ultimately promote unity and togetherness. This message is reflected in the repeated refrain: "Come together, right now, over me." The song seems to suggest that even in the midst of differences and eccentricities, there is still a need for a sense of community and unity.
Overall, "Come Together" is a reflection of the counterculture movement's focus on individualism and a rejection of traditional values, but it also emphasizes the importance of unity and coming together as a community.
