Garden Party

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

 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

 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
