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, 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
|
Mr. 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.
|
|
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, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
|
|
Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-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, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
|
|
Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-dah-dah-dah.
|
|
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well
|
You see, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
