Come Together
Robin Williams 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
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
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Robin Williams's song "Come Together" is a cover of The Beatles' original hit. The lyrics can be interpreted in many different ways, but generally, the song speaks to the power of unity and coming together. The opening lines introduce a character with the nickname "flat top," who is described as having "joo joo eyeballs" and being a "holy roller." The character is a free spirit who wears no shoes, plays football with his toes, and drinks Coca Cola. He is described as a joker who does what he pleases and encourages others to be free.
The second verse continues to describe flat top as someone who is unconventional and outspoken, with a bad production style and odd accessories like walrus gumboots and an Ono sideboard. However, he also has a dark side, indicated by the line "hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease." Despite this, the chorus repeats the message of coming together, emphasizing the importance of doing so "right now, over me."
The final verse describes flat top in even more mystical terms, as a "roller coaster" with "muddy water" and a "Mojo filter." He speaks in riddles, saying "one and one and one is three," but ultimately, the song's message remains the same. The outro repeats the refrain of "come together" with increasing energy and intensity.
