Rick Nelson - Garden Party

I went to a garden partyTo reminisce with my old friendsA chance to share old memoriesAnd play our songs againWhen I got to the garden partyThey all knew my nameBut no one recognized meI didn't look the sameBut it's all right nowI learned my lesson wellYou see, you can't please everyoneSo you got to please yourselfPeople came from miles aroundEveryone was thereYoko brought her walrusThere was magic in the airAnd over in the cornerMuch to my surpriseMr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoesWearing his disguiseBut it's all right nowI learned my lesson wellYou see, you can't please everyoneSo you got to please yourselfI played them all the old songsI thought that's why they cameNo one heard the musicWe didn't look the sameI said hello to "Mary Lou"She belongs to meWhen I sang a song about a honky-tonkIt was time to leaveBut it's all right nowI learned my lesson wellYou see, you can't please everyoneSo you got to please yourselfSomeone opened up a closet doorAnd out stepped Johnny B. GoodePlaying guitar like a ringing a bellAnd lookin' like he shouldIf you gotta play at garden partiesI wish you a lotta luckBut if memories were all I sangI'd rather drive a truckBut it's all right nowI learned my lesson wellYou see, you can't please everyoneSo you got to please yourselfAnd it's all right now, yeahLearned my lesson wellYou see, you can't please everyoneSo you got to please yourself
