Hey, Meredith

Yes, this is my take on “Hey Jude.” That is right, I’ve stood up to Sir Paul and have delivered a personal poem which contains a universal truth -- “And it’s up to you to be you.” Poetry does not get more relevant than that!


Hey, Meredith, you are ten

The whole world will come a’knockin’

Awh, please do not let ‘em in

Just keep on, keep on rockin’


A Cracker Barrel waitress is what I see

Or a nurse, if that is what you want to be

You can be a horseback queen

Or a model, if that is your dream


Hey, girl, the future is yours to do

And it’s up to you to be you


It’s up to you to be you


Any time you hear the knocks, Meredith, do not coolly answer the door

Please wait ‘til you are much older

Well, you will learn, my sweet girl, that it’s a fool who plays it cool

By making the world a little colder


Na na, na na, na na na…


Hey, Meredith, you are ten

The whole world will come a’knockin’

Awh, please do not let ‘em in

Just keep on, keep on rockin’


Na na na, na na na na

Na na na na

Hey, Meredith


Na na na, na na na na

Na na na na

Hey, Meredith


Na na na, na na na na

Na na na na

Hey, Meredith
