Come Together
Petra Magoni 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
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
The lyrics of Petra Magoni's "Come Together" song is an interpretation of the Beatles' classic hit song with the same title. The song starts by mentioning "flat top," who is believed to be a musician, and he arrives grooving up slowly. Flat top, who wears no shoeshine, is described to be one with "joo joo eyeballs" and a "holy roller" as he does whatever he please. The lyrics mention the need for freedom as a vital thing, and the song invites everyone to "come together" over the singer.
The verse continues with the mention of flat top's other unique qualities, such as his "toe jam football," "monkey finger," and his ability to "shoot Coca Cola." The lyrics also emphasize that flat top and the singer know each other so well, and the only thing they can offer anyone is freedom. The verse ends by inviting everyone to come together, right now, over the singer.
The second verse continues to describe flat top, who seems to have many unusual things in his possession, such as "walrus gumboot," "Ono sideboard," and a "spinal cracker." The lyrics seem to suggest that flat top is an enigma, one who is hard to see, but if you get close, you can feel his "disease." The verse ends with an invitation to everyone to come together, right now, over the singer. The final verse talks about flat top's "early warning," "muddy water," and "Mojo filter," and how one and one and one equals three. The lyrics suggest that one needs to be good-looking to see flat top or perhaps the things he represents.
