The Coverbeats's song "All Together Now" is a joyful and lighthearted tune that encourages togetherness and love. The song begins with counting, and the numbers one through ten are used to express the love the singer has for someone. The lyrics then turn to the alphabet, with the singer asking if they can bring a friend to tea. The playful use of letters and numbers is meant to be fun and light-hearted, but also convey a sense of innocence and simplicity.
The chorus repeats the phrase "All together now" over and over again, creating a sense of unity and community. The Bompa bom section is a nonsensical fill that only adds to the feeling of childlike joy and wonderment that the song conveys. The second verse asks if the singer can take their friend to bed, which may be interpreted as a romantic or platonic request. The use of colors in this verse further underscores the idea that love and togetherness transcend race, gender, and other societal constructs.
Overall, the lyrics to "All Together Now" represent a desire for acceptance, love, and community. The song encourages listeners to let go of their differences and come together as one.
