"So let it out and let it in
Hey, Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey, Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder"

he wrote for a political candidate but it turned into his own "I am the Walrus" type of gobbledygook.

I also believe Chuck Berry sued him because the tune sounded too much like one of his songs.

It's been a while since I read about this, so my memory maybe a little fuzzy.
