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 recognised 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

And over in the corner

much to my surprise

Mister hughes

hid in dylan's shoes

wearin' 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

Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

lot-in-dah-dah-dah

I played them

all the old songs

I 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

Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Someone opened up

a closet door

and out stepped

Johnny B. Goode

Playin' 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'd 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

Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

lot-in-dah-dah-dah

And it's all right now

I learned my lesson well

you see ya

can't please everyone

so ya got to please yourself
