Hi, everybody!

Beatles wrote:

Strawberry Fields
Let me take you down coz' I'm going to Strawberry fields
Nothing is real And nothing to get hung about

Could you help me take in the bold part of that quote. (Rehashing it would suffice)

Thank you. :)

The usual phrase is 'nothing to get hung up about', which means 'nothing to worry about' -- just another one of John Lennon's lyrical liberties. Not everybody agrees on the meaning of this line, though.
