Garden Party

GcRDEN PcRTY

I want a garden party to reminisce with old friends
c chance to share 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

People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
'n' over the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. 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've got to please yourself
Lotte dah-dah-dah, lotte dah-dah-dah
Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello “Mary Lou”, she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honkie-tonk, it was time to leave

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

Someone opened up a closet 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 lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang, I'd rater drive a truck
Chorus
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya've got to please yourself
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya've got to please yourself
