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
n 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 ya can't please everyone
so ya got to please yourself
Lott in dah dah dah
lot in 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 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
Lot dah dah dah
lot dah dah dah
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
Lot dah dah dah
lot dah dah dah
Lot in dah dah dah
n it's all right now learned
my lesson well
You see ya can't please everyone
so you got to please yourself
