Get Back
The .Beatles Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rosetta (who are you talking about?)
Sweet Loretta Fart, she thought she was a cleaner
But she was a frying pan (Sweet Rosetta Martin, Rosetta)
The picker, the picker!
Picture the fingers burning! (Ooh)
OK

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner

But he knew it couldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jojo

Go home

Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta ooh, ooh

Go home

Oh, get back, yeah, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Yeah, get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

Get back, ooh
Thanks, Moe

I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves
And I hope we passed the audition

Overall Meaning

"Get Back" is a song by The Beatles that was released in 1969. The lyrics are a playful retelling of the story of Jojo, a man who leaves his home in Tucson, Arizona to find California grass. Along the way, the song introduces several other characters, including Rosetta and Loretta.

The first verse mentions "Rosetta," but it is unclear who this person is. It is possible that she is a friend of Jojo's or another character in the song. "Sweet Loretta Fart" is introduced in the second verse as a woman who "thought she was a cleaner/But she was a frying pan." This nonsensical line has been interpreted in many different ways, but some have suggested that it could be a reference to a drag performer or someone who is pretending to be something they're not.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Get back to where you once belonged" several times. This is likely meant to encourage Jojo and the other characters to return home to their roots. The song ends with a thank you to "Moe" and a statement about passing an audition, which has led some to speculate that the song was written for a specific purpose or as part of a larger project.

Line by Line Meaning

I was 17 yrs old in 1969, and grew up with this music. But not realizing the greatness of it, I let it almost pass without appreciating
the Beatles, thinking of it at the time, as some teeny--bopper genre music. But, I've been rediscovering their timeless, classic and feel--good music from those simpler days. Now, this film will hopefully re--awaken the world and a new generation to the Beatles music. Geniuses in their own right, they've never looked better.

I was born 10 years after their break up. I grew up listening to them my entire life. I always felt like I just missed witnessing one of the greatest eras in music. I watched them in Black and White and in grainy color on video, album covers, and in pictures. But to see them in this film, I felt like I got to witness something almost first hand. They truly came to life for me. it was so intimate. Although it was bittersweet to watch, knowing how it all ends, it was the greatest thing to feel like a fly on the wall watching it all unfold. I was spellbound and amazed at watching Paul create Get Back out of thin air. It was literal magic. And to see the chemistry between Paul and John in creating Two of Us... it took a deeper level of meaning to one of my all time favorite songs. I knew the magic of that song was there, when I first heard that song. it was wonderful to see the footage of it all unfolding. Last but not least, Paul's beard was everything!

What is so amazing is that the Beatles only had about three weeks to write and record and perform a new album of material. In that time they put together songs such as 'Get Back', 'Let It Be', 'The Long And Winding Road', 'Don't Let Me Down', 'Two Of Us' and 'I've Got A Feeling'. We also see them working on songs such as 'Something' and 'All Things Must Pass' etc.
Although the album 'Let It Be' is not regarded with the same respect as other albums by the Beatles such as 'Sgt Pepper' or 'Abbey Road', the fact remains that it remains so much better than so many other albums regarded as great by so many lesser artists.
The Beatles created a standard that even they were held to.
'Let It Be' is a great album - and this film confirms this as a fact.

Saw the second one, the conversation that Paul and John have after George departs, that gave me chills. John and Paul are titans and I am amazed with how John handles it. Not surprised but just amazed. My father who was never much of a fan of anything, stated how much he admired John Lennon as a person. Watching Paul go through various feelings, I get the feeling that he really put heart and effort into the band at that time and his biggest fear was happening before his eyes and it was devastating. I always heard over and over the connection that John and Paul had and in that conversation I can sense John also fears the same thing. They both were strategically putting thought into how to keep it all together. Just my opinion of course.

I watched it about 20 times. Something people forget is that in their day - when they were a band and as big as they were we hardly ever saw them. Almost the entire Beatlemania thing from '63 to '70 was received by us via records. I think from 1964-1970 I actually only saw them perform on tv 4-5 times in all plus the three films. Of course I also saw the original Let It Be film at the theater in '70 and for me it was a bummer considering that we could see the end was upon us. And the way the film was edited and the low quality of it made the whole thing less than thrilling. Then they were gone. That makes the long wait for this film such a revelation and joy and with so many individual moments to be able to go back over and re watch it is just so beautiful. Thank you Peter Jackson. Thank you JPGR. You're still the best.

I was indifferent toward the Beatles most of my life, and then attended a Beatlemania concert with a friend. Suddenly I understood what all the hype was about, and found myself attracted to them like a cauliflower. (haha you'll only get that if you watch the trailer above). I'm just gobsmacked by their talent, their cheekiness and the way they changed the world of music just by being themselves.

Two of my favourite moments ( on top of a whole bunch of other great moments) are
1) John giving Paul wide eyed and a nod after playing The Two of Us on acoustic guitars. That's an a-ha moment when they've been previously trying to make the song work with their other electric instruments.
2) After Preston inputs his playing for the first time and John says "You're in the band."

All my life I've heard the music and I was told about the Fab 4 by my parents, Aunties and Uncles. All my life I've seen a lot of sad or flat documentaries regarding the Beatles break up. I used to think they were over hyped and nothing special. During my 45 years on this earth I have grown to appreciate these legends and now there is a fitting re restored documentary footage actually capturing that time for what it really was. Four men at there height that really loved each other and enjoyed each others company just bantering while at the apex of there creativity . This trailer had me well up with tears and it really will bring the legacy of the Beatles full circle in a more fitting, deserving way that it should be remembered.

@Cathy Thompson funny story--I made friends with a girl because I heard her talking about George Harrison and I was just getting into the Beatles at the time, and we had a conversation about the Beatles and that became our common interest and it's kinda what made us friends. That was in 8th grade and I'm in the 11th grade now (junior in high school). So certainly there are people who still know his music and stuff. Depends on the person I guess. On the other hand, I'm also a fan of Bob Dylan's music and I did a portrait in art of him and I told some girl that I was drawing Bob Dylan because she asked who it was, and she said something along the lines of, 'never heard the name'. Like man, I was surprised because I'd always heard of Dylan long before I listened to him, like I knew the name, y'know? I couldn't imagine having never heard of the guy, though his music isn't something everyone will like.

A am 2/3's through this and feel like a time traveller. This is priceless, historical footage. First of all, their talent and the hard work they put into their craft is so apparent. Also, what I am seeing is a John Lennon I never realized existed. He comes across as the most relaxed and funny of the group. Paul can be funny but he's more guarded and likes to be the one in charge. I can see the wheels spinning behind his eyes a lot too, not always happy about things going on. The way Yoko is constantly by Lennon's side is pretty cliché "Yoko Ono" - but they were so young then you have to cut them some slack for that. Ringo is much quieter than I would have expected and just seems to be there to do the job with less ego involved than I would have thought. George is already detached and in another world apart from being a Beatle. He also seems annoyed much of the time, but that could be that he was just over it. And the thing that struck me most of all was John and Paul's relationship. Whatever happened through the remaining years, they come across as soulmates. There is a direct line of energy between them that is almost visible.

I was 10 years of age and my mind was awoken to these mere boys from Liverpool sharing their music with the world. I made my first electric guitar, somehow converted a radio into an amp and taught myself how to play (albeit & badly). My world was perfect however not all things stay the same. I'm now 69 and this sneak peek has taken me back to those perfect days where it seemed the world came together as one. So looking forward to the movie. Thank you for this moment again on the long and winding road.

I really couldn't imagine the world without The Beatles. Their songs are masterpieces and truly timeless. Message to future generations, never let their songs die!!!

@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306

It's all good. The songs are timeless masterpieces. They ain't going away anytime soon. Just the fact that they still have so much popularity after 50+ years says it all. Of course those who grew up with it have an emotional attachment does not mean newer listeners don't' appreciate or recognize the greatness.

Brilliant documentary. So surreal watching the 4 of them (and later with Preston) craft songs from rough ideas to the final piece. You really get a sense of what they were like as artists in the studio as well as individual band members and people. Loved it!

I feel so lucky to have been around when they first burst on the scene and seen them live in 1964 in San Francisco. The first song they played that August was Twist and Shout. The energy seemed all about the heart and we loved them. Completely.

I couldn't even watch this halfway without tearing up. My dad loved The Beatles so much that he would play their songs almost everyday in our house when he was still around, even sing their songs in the karaoke. I also remember gifting him a magazine with Paul McCartney on the cover, he smiled at me and teared up afterwards (I was way younger when I bought it for him. I just suddenly thought of dad when I saw the magazine and so I bought it instantly even though it was not even his birthday yet at that time).

Every time I hear any The Beatles song, it always reminds me of him. I know for sure he would have loved to see this and maybe even cry again in joy 'cause that's just how much of a big fan he is. It's been 5 years dad, I miss you. ❤

Mum smiled at us on the rear seat. 50 years have passed already from then... but the Beatles are still here and so do us.

It is truly unbelievable how modern this looks. Film restoration truly is an art form.

@samueltufts

3y↑117

It’s only because they put a smoothing filter over the whole thing to get rid of the grain, if you look close you can see what almost look like brush strokes where the detail has been smoothed away. It looks pretty bad if you ask me. I’d much rather have a high res scan of the negative with its natural grain than a smoothed out version like this. Not to mention it kinda feels too modern, the era is definitely important to the story here and I feel smoothing that out into a clean digital look loses something important. A good example of film restoration without losing detail is the 2019 Apollo 11 documentary, the film there still has its natural grain and looks much better.

@Samuel Tufts Yeah, it looks awful.

@ivoscache-my7uv

3y↑27

@Samuel Tufts I agree! As you can see in the rooftop part of the trailer, the detail is not there because of too much denoising that Peter Jackson used. I would rather have the quality of the 1+ video collection rather than something that lost detail.

Edit: If you also pause on 2:37, you can clearly see that George's guitar has no strings. The reason that happened because of too much denoise (removal of grain) which causes it to lose detail.

This documentary made me realize a lot of things… first, John was a lot more present than what they had made us believe. He was cooperative, funny, submerged in the work, being the voice of reason when needed. Second, you can tell how much Paul loves John, being supportive of his relationship with Yoko. Third, George is just done. He ruined a lot of funny/light moments with his bitterness. You can tell he had a lot of resentment towards the other two. Fourth, Ringo is probably the most easy going/ loving rockstar that’s ever existed.

I love The Beatles, they're my favorite band from the UK. Just seeing John Lennon in this trailer made me tear up a little bit because he's gone. Now finding out that George Harrison died on this month and how he didn't want to be part of this documentary, hurts because he also died from throat cancer.

I also saw Yoko Ono and seeing her with John is just heartwarming. I don't care what people say about her, she isn't a horrible person (But when I hear the name Yoko from Timothy goes to School and she is also from Japan, just makes me upset).

Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney there are just remarkable in their new looks and just having a good time with everyone is like even though they're struggling to get this show out, nothing will let them stay in their way.

R.I.P. John Lennon and George Harrison
