Come Together Lyrics
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 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 because he's so hard to see Come together right now over me

It was originally meant as a campaign song for acid-guru Dr Timothy Leary when he was going to run for US President (no kidding!), but later John re-wrote it in its present form. Alongside references to blues singer Muddy Waters and Yoko's Ono's company "Bag Productions" there is an inevitable Walrus. "Spinal cracker" reportedly refers to a form of Japanese massage involving a wife (Yoko?) walking on her husband's spine! But guess why the song got banned by the BBC...
Yes, because the State-owned broadcasting corporation deemed that the mention of Coca-Cola was advertising and therefore could not be played on the BBC!
The same thing happened with "Lola" by the Kinks, but they actually changed the lyric to the more evocative "cherry cola".

I think we should call John Welsh to help us out on the case.
Lol.
No, but I have heard that too.
Crazy stuff.

This is why I thought this:
George was the most religious, so calling someone a holy roller was slang back then (still is for that)
George usually had the longest hair and was the first to grow it out longer that the mop top.
George seemed to have one eye a little more droopy than the other.
Joker - I don't know what that is about.
Paul - toe jam from the barefoot picture. Football is a big joint and we know how Paul would like to light it up. Coca-cola- Paul admitted to the media to using drugs other than just weed. Monkey finger might be a reference to his ability to play nearly any instrument. (monkey see monkey do) Quoting him poeticey would mean he speaks out, he has something to say as in lyrics like a song writer does. Paul wrote lyrics or poems that became songs.
John - the Ono on the side comment (John had been married to someone else). He once said that he told everyone Paul was the Walrus to further confuse them. Does that mean John is really the Walrus? He wrote a song stating "I am the Walrus".
Perhaps he had a scruffy armchair they all made fun of that they teased you could get a disease by sitting in it - that is just a guess because he had a funny sense of humor.
Ringo - he is a roller coaster (mood swings). He got early warning -you can easily tell when his moods are switching. He got muddy water - Muddy Waters was a blues musician. Maybe he liked that music or maybe it refers back to his moods again (being blue)
He say 1 + 1 + 1 is 3. Would mean that he is the drummer and he keeps time (or the count) for the
band. Has to be good looking (which he is) because you can hardly see him way in the back of the band behind everyone else.

The only thing i can think of with the joo joo eyeball reference is the old black and white tarzan films with Jonny Weismuller in, there was always a part in the film where the natives carrying all the equipment would not go past a certain point because of the joo joo tribe and the camera would have close ups of them crapping there pants so maybe its a reference to there scared faces and bulging eyeballs.

Leary's slogan was "come together, join the party", the "come together" alluding to I Ching, the Chinese book of changes.
Two of the lines referring to Old Flat Top were taken from "You Can't Catch Me" by Chuck Berry, and John was later sued for plagiarism. The matter was settled when John promised to record 3 songs belonging to the publisher of "You Can't Catch Me".
