Garden Party

Went to a garden party

To reminisce with my old friends

A chance to talk old memories

And play our songs again

At that garden party

They all knew my name

But no one recognised me

I didn't look the same

But it's alright now

I learned my lesson well

You can't please everybody

So you've got to please yourself

People came from miles around

Everyone was there

Yoko brought her Walrus

There was magic in the air

Over in the corner

Much to my surprise

Mr. Hughes in Dylan's shoes

Wearing his disguise

But it's alright now

I learned my lesson well

You can't please everybody

So you've got to please yourself

Sang them all the old songs

Thought that was why they came

But no one heard the music

I didn't look the same

Said hello to Mary Lou

She belongs to me

But when I sang a song

About a Honky Tonk

Then it was time to leave

But it's alright now

I learned my lesson well

You can't please everybody

So you've got to please yourself

Someone opened up the closet door

Out stepped Johnny B. Goode

Playing his guitar like a ringing a bell

And looking like he should

Well if you've got to play at garden parties

Then I wish you a lot of luck

But if memories were all I'd seen

I'd rather drive a truck

But it's alright now

I learned my lesson well

You can't please everybody

So you've got to please yourself

Alright now

I learned my lesson well

You can't please everybody

So you've got to please yourself
