The Hans Staymer Band 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
The first verse of The Hans Staymer Band's song Come Together introduces us to an enigmatic and unconventional character - old flat top - who is grooving up slowly. The next line says he's got joo joo eyeballs and is one holy roller. This is a metaphor for his unique and spiritual perspective on the world. The image of him having hair down to his knee and being a joker paints a picture of a carefree individual who is comfortable in his own skin and doesn't follow society's norms. The lines "He wear no shoeshine, He got toe jam football, He got monkey finger, He shoot Coca Cola" adds to the quirkiness of the character.
The second verse sheds more light on old flat top's persona, describing him as someone who has bad production, walrus gumboot, an Ono sideboard, and is a spinal cracker. The phrase "Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease" suggests that he may not always have the best intentions or may be a bit of a troublemaker, but there is still something magnetic about him. The chorus "Come together, right now, over me" seems to be an invitation to embrace and celebrate our differences and individualities and come together in unity.
Overall, the song is an ode to the unique qualities that make us human and a call to come together as a community, despite our differences.
