Come Together
The Beatles栀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy roller
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 knee
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
The opening lyrics to The Beatles' "Come Together" seem nonsensical at first, but they quickly establish the quirky, offbeat tone of the song. "Here come old flat top" refers to a person who is likely bald, with a flat top head. This person is "groovin' up slowly," meaning he is taking his time, unhurried. He has "joo joo eyeballs," suggesting he is either wearing some sort of goggles or has some kind of odd physical condition. He is described as a "holy roller," perhaps indicating he is a religious figure or fanatic.
The next few lines describe this person's physical characteristics in greater detail. He has hair down to his knee, and is a "joker" who just does what he wants. He does not wear shoes and has "toe jam football," suggesting he likes to play a sport barefoot. He has "monkey finger," which is likely just another quirky -- albeit nonsensical -- physical attribute. He "shoots Coca-Cola," which is also unexplained, but adds to the whimsical tone of the song.
The chorus brings the song's title into play, as the singer implores his listeners to "come together" right now, "over me." This suggests the singer is a unifying force, someone who can gather people together for a common cause. He emphasizes the importance of being free, which could refer to being free of societal restrictions, personal limitations, or both.
Overall, "Come Together" is a song that celebrates the eccentricities and quirks of humanity, while also calling for unity and freedom. The lyrics are intentionally enigmatic and playful, inviting interpretation and analysis from listeners.
