About The Song
“Come Together” is a song by The Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was released in 1969 as the opening track on their album “Abbey Road”. The song reached the top of the charts in the United States and Australia, but peaked at No. 4 in the United Kingdom.
The song was inspired by John Lennon’s meeting with Timothy Leary, an American psychologist and early advocate of LSD, during the Montreal Bed-in for Peace in 1969. Leary asked Lennon to write him a campaign song based on the slogan “Come Together – Join the Party!”. It has been covered by several other artists, including Ike & Tina Turner, Aerosmith, Joe Cocker, and Michael Jackson.
Lyrics
Here come old flat-top, he come groovin' up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeball, he one holy roller
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 bag 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
Right!
Come, come, come, come...
He roller-coaster, he got early warnin'
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
He say, "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-lookin' 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together, right now
Over me
Ugh!
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Agh!
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together...
