[Intro banter]
Ha ha. Stop!
Five
He shut his eyes and came out on "wear no shootballs"
(Don't worry if you don't get the vocal, just keep going)
Okay, sorry. Yes. I get very involved, ya know?
One, two, a-one, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Here come old flat-top, he come groovin' up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
He's got to be a joker, he just do what he please

[Interlude]
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Look out!

[Verse 2]
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, you got to be free

[Chorus]
Come together, right now
Over me

[Interlude]
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Hey!

[Verse 3]
He bag production, he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideburns, he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
He hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease

[Chorus]
Come together, right now
Over me
Yeah

[Guitar Solo + Verse 1]
Hey! He comes--he come groovin' up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
He's got to be a joker, he just do what he please
Look out!
Hit me

[Outro banter]
He roller-coaster, he got early warnin'
He's got darus dookers
Yes
A man like him would have it
He's got teenage lyrics
He's got hot-rod baldie
I'm loosing my cool

The Beatles

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
