Come Together Video (MV)




• John Lennon began writing this song for Timothy Leary's failed gubernatorial campaign in California against Ronald Reagan, which he lost after being arrested for marijuana possession

• The single was banned by the BBC because of its reference to cocaine 'he shoot coca-cola'

• The song won a Grammy Award for best engineered recording in 1969

• The whispered lyric that sounds like 'shoot' is actually Lennon saying 'shoot me' followed by a handclap. The bass line drowns out the 'me.'


Performed By: The Beatles
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney




The Beatles - Come Together Lyrics
Official




Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me

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

Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me

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

Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot 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

Shoot me
Right

Come, come, 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
'Cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me

Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Uh

Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Uh
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
