Analysis of The Crude Dude Who Loved "Hey Jude".
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
There was a dude who was so crude
In everything he did;
And yet just now he learned somehow
A song heard in childhood.
It took him years and sometimes tears
With thoughts that would intrude
His many days of practice ways;
The Beatles' song, "Hey Jude".
He did not care who heard him there
Because along with fun,
He felt so proud to play aloud
And well when he was done!
