The Beatles Get Back

“Get Back” is a song recorded by the English rock band the Beatles and written by Paul McCartney (though credited to Lennon–McCartney), originally released as a single on 11 April 1969 and credited to “The Beatles with Billy Preston”. A different mix of the song became the closing track of Let It Be (1970), which was released just after the group split up. The single version was later issued on the compilation albums 1967–1970, 20 Greatest Hits, Past Masters, and 1.

The single reached number one in the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Australia, France, West Germany, Mexico, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, and Belgium. It was the Beatles’ only single that credited another artist at their request. “Get Back” was the Beatles’ first single release in true stereo in the US. In the UK, the Beatles’ singles remained monaural until the following release, “The Ballad of John and Yoko”. It was also the first single to debut on the singles charts at number one.

Lyrics

[Intro: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Rosetta…
Sweet Loretta Fart she thought she was a cleaner
But she was a frying pan
Sweet Rosetta Martin… Rosetta
The picker, the picker, picture the fingers burning
Ooh
Okay

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn’t last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
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

[​​Interlude: Paul McCartney]
Go home

[Chorus: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, Jo

[Electric Piano Solo: Billy Preston]

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
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

[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Oh, 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

[​​Interlude: Paul McCartney]
Hoo
Go home

[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Oh, get back, yeah, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Yeah, get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

[Outro: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Get back
Ooh
Thanks, Moe
I’d like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition
