Garden Party - Please yourself

I went to a garden party To reminisce with my old friends A chance to share old memories 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, you can't please everyone So you 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, you can't please everyone So you got to please yourself Lot-da-da Lot-in-da-da-da Played them all the old songs I thought that's why they came No one heard the music 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, you can't please everyone So you got to please yourself Lot-da-da Lot-in-da-da-da Someone opened up a closet door And out stepped Johnny B Goode Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell And lookin' like he should Now if you gotta play at garden parties I wish you a lotta luck But if memories were all I sang I'd rather drive a truck And it's all right now I learned my lesson well See, you can't please everyone So you got to please yourself Lot-da-da (lot-da-da-da) Lot-in-da-da-da And it's all right now, yeah I learned my lesson well You see, you can't please everyone So you got to please yourself Writer/s: Rick Nelson
