I began to transcribe but I don't undertstand some words.
Can you help me realize the subtitles ?

Come together
 
I can help you with some of these but don't have time at the moment. I'll revisit later, if no one else has helped you already...
 
The classic Beatles tune was meant to be nonsensical, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense in English. One of the reasons Mike liked it, IMO. I believe he sang the words differently in some spots, too. Here are the lyrics:

Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

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 is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production, he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

[Right!
Come, oh, come, come, come.]

He roller-coaster, he got early warning
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

Oh
Come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah come together
Yeah oh
Come together
Yeah come together

Hope this helps you. :)

the song really is cryptic as many Beetles songs were, hidden messages and meanings..

This is how I decrypt the song.. my attempt anyway

He bag production, he got walrus gumboot
the term bag refers to bagging, like "I bagged her" which is having sex.. Now the Walrus is referencing the song 'I am The Walrus' which there are likes of sexual acts in there as well. The gumboot - I am not 100% sure if this is where it comes from but I have seen pics of yoko ono wearing gumboots, rubber high boots. Maybe she wore them when the 'bagged'
He got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
'ono sideboard' is regering to Yoko Ono...
He got feet down below his knee
This one is self explanatory
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
I heard actually it was originally "..in his arms yeah, you can.." and when the lyrics can out it said armchair and Lennon liked it and kept it. The line's self explanatory, consider the verse is sexual..
Come together right now over me


Other parts of songs decoded:

Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly
This line was derived from Chuck Berrys 'You Can't Catch me'.. lyrics - I was rollin' slowly cause the drizzling showers, here come a flat top, he was movin' up with me
He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller
joo-joo eyeball or more correctly 'juju eyeball' is the wicked eye.. juju referring to the witch dr.


The below verse is about George, he became very infatuated with Maharishi Mahesh yogi

He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football
George often would not wear shoes because that is something Maharishi would do, toe-jam football is a term that's used as playing 'barefoot soccer'
He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola
This line is about doing cocaine
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
^To sum it up he's telling a story of playing barefoot soccer and shooting up cocaine and talking about being free willed


He roller-coaster, he got early warning
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
Muddy Waters has a song 'mojo workin'. hinting to that rumor thatPaul died in a car crash.. Muddy Waters was involved in a car crash that killed 3 people.
He say "One and one and one is three"
Now that McCartney "died".. "one and one and one is three" not 4 Beetles
Got to be good-looking cause he's so hard to see
got to be good looking cause he's so hard to see.. He's "dead" he's a spirit so hard to see.
Come together right now over me
