Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here come old flat top
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 wear no shoeshine
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

Overall Meaning

The Real Group's song Come Together is a cover of The Beatles classic hit. The song features a groovy, rhythmic melody with catchy lyrics that appear to convey a message of unity and freedom. The verses of the song are full of metaphors and descriptive phrases that add depth to the already complex lyrics. The singer describes an enigmatic figure with "joo joo eyeballs" who wears "no shoeshine" and has "hair down to his knee." He is a "holy roller" who "just does what he pleases." The second verse describes his bad production skills and has "walrus gumboot" and "Ono sideboard," adding a psychedelic feel to the song. The last verse talks about him being a "roller coaster" with "early warning" and "muddy water," emphasizing the idea of overcoming obstacles with unity.


The chorus, "Come together right now over me," reinforces the idea of unity and invites people to come together as one. The use of the rhythm and repetition of the chorus gives it a catchy and memorable quality that has made it a timeless classic. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the message of coming together to overcome difficulties and achieve freedom is clear.
