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

(spoken) 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

(spoken) Get back Loretta
Your mother's waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home Loretta

GEH RAUS
(Get Back)

The Beatles - 1969



Geh weg! (raus!) Geh weg! (raus!)
Geh weg! (raus!) nach einer Nacht, nach Haus
Geh weg, geh raus
Geh raus nach irgendeinem Haus
Geht rasch? nach Haus
Ja, Jacki
Ja, geh weg Jacki
Das war nicht so gut!

Geh weg! Geh weg!
Geh raus nach deinem, deinem Haus
Geh weg! Geht raus!
Geht raus nach irgendeinem Haus!
Geht raus nach deinem Haus!
Ja, das ist gut Jacki
Und sauber? gut, ja!

Und Loretta/Signorita (?) Martin denkt, sie war ein Freundlich,
ja aber das wär' nicht um? sonst?,
So sie sagt nach  ?  Bill, you be mein Häuptling
Ah dies'?  bleib' ich gar nicht d'rum
Geh raus, geh raus
Geht raus nach deinem mundigen Haus!
Geht raus, geht raus
Geht raus nach deinem freundlich Haus!
Geh raus, Melinda!
Geh raus nach deinem Haus! Ja!
Vielen Dank für die Blumen.

(French lyrics) ...
... plus ... faire le tour du bar ...
Plutôt, plutôt, plutôt ...
Plutôt nach deinem Hirn.

Ah, dein, ah, ey.

Note: This version of "Get Back" is one of many "Get Back" versions 
the Beatles recorded, including rehearsals. It was recorded in London in 
1969 during work on songs for the "Let It Be" film. This rough version of 
"Get Back" in German (and a little French) was never officially released, 
but it is included on the Beatles anthology two-CD set released in December 
2000. 

The pseudo-German of the song sounds pretty good, but it has numerous 
grammatical and idiomatic errors.
That is why some of this transcribed text is not entirely accurate 
and parts are missing.
