Hey Jude, don't be a fool
Take a sad song and make it better
The minute you let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better


* Hey Jude, don't let me down
Take a sad song and make it better
The minute you let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better


Let it out and let in
Hey Jude begin
To making the world a little better
Don't you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
In making the world a little better


· Repeat


Let it out and let in
Hey Jude begin
To making the world a little better
Don't you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
To taking the world upon your shoulder


* Repeat
(better, better, better, better)
Na na na na na etc.
