(Rosetta..

Sweet Loretta Fart thought she was a cleaner
but she was a frying pan, yeah

Rosetta…

The picker! The picker! Picture the fingers burning!

Oo-wee!

OK?

1,2, 1,2,3,4)

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn’t last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jojo
Go home

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she’s got it coming
But she gets it while she can

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta
Go home

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

Get back
Woo…

(Thanks, Mo!

I’d like to say “thank you” on behalf of the group
and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition!)

About Lyrics and Get Back by The Beatles

The lyrics for Get Back are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1970 song by The Beatles. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Get Back have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Get Back - The Beatles and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Get Back by The Beatles in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Get Back" means the words set to the music of Get Back, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Beatles. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Get Back and the lyrics to Get Back are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of The Beatles who came here looking just for the lyrics to Get Back, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
