Get Back
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn't last
Jo Jo 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 Jo Jo

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

Ah, get back
Yeah, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Yeah get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, Ooo
[Past Masters/single version only:
Get back, Loretta,
Your mommy's waiting for you,
Wearin' her high heel shoes and her low neck sweater,
Get back home, Loretta
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged.
Get back, get back, get back...] 		Availability:

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:00-0:20
Introduced by John's "Sweet Loretta Fart she thought she was a cleaner","but she was a frying pan". There is also Paul singing "Rosetta...", John's "Great, picks for the fingers" and a quiet 1-2-1234 count in, a "Get In!" and a "Level John!" (Let It Be version only. Past Masters 2 omits this)
* NEW * According to two reports, "picks for the fingers" is in fact "Picture the fingers going". John is apparently motioning with his hands at this point on bootleg videos of the rooftop concert.
1:19
Lead guitar breaks up, when both J & P sing "Get back ... belonged" This is at 1:00 on PaMa2.
2:55
Outroduced (!) with a policeman (from the "on the roof" session) saying "I'm afraid its just too long", telling them to wind up the gig. Again, only Let It Be Version, not PaMa2
Note: I did not write or compile these anomalies. Please don't email me with new anomalies and please read the WGO Info page.
