Garden Party

I went to a garden party to
reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories
and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party,
they all knew my name
No one recognized me,
I didn't look the same

But it's all right now,
I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone,
so ya got to please yourself

People came from miles around,
everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus,
there was magic in the air
And over in the corner,
much to my surprise
Mister Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes
wearing his disguise

But it's all right now,
I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone,
so ya got to please yourself

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

I played them all the old songs,
I thought that's why they came
No one heard the music,
we didn't look the same
I said hello to ""Mary Lou"",
she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk,
it was time to leave

But it's all right now,
I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone,
so ya got to please yourself

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

Someone opened up a closet door
and out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell
and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties,
I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang,
I rather drive a truck

But it's all right now,
I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone,
so ya got to please yourself

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

But it's all right now,
I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone,
so ya got to please yourself
