Come Together Lyrics

Abbey Road, which introduced “Come Together,” was the last studio album recorded by the Beatles (although Let It Be was actually released after Abbey Road). Also notable about this album was the emergence of George Harrison as a hit songwriter, penning “Something” and “Here Comes the Sun,” arguably two of the Beatles most identifying songs. The brilliant keyboard work (Rhodes, Wurli, B-3 and more!) of Billy Preston (sometimes referred to as “the fifth Beatle” during this period) also was becoming a major new component of the Beatles sound. Imagine if they had made more records with Preston!

SIDEBAR: Notice that Paul is holding a cigarette just as he was on the picture sleeve of “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” the Beatles first #1 hit in America.

Come Together Lyrics

(Words and Music by Lennon and McCartney)

Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo 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, oh, come, come, come.]

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 cos he’s so hard to see
Come together right now over me

Oh
Come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah oh
Come together
Yeah come together
