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
But no one recognized me
I didn't look the same
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well you see you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself people came for miles around and everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus there was magic in the air
And over in 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 you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself
La da da la da da da da
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 'bout a Honky Tonk it was time to leave
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well you see you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself
La da da la da da da da
Someone opened up a closed door and out stepped
Johnny B Goode playing guitar like ring an' a bell
And lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties
I wish you a lot of luck
But if memories were all I sang
I'd rather drive a truck
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well you see you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself
La da da la da da da da
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well you see you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself
