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 But 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 for miles around and 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 La da da la da da da da 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 'bout 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 La da da la da da da da Someone opened up a closed door and out stepped Johnny B Goode playing guitar like ring an' a bell And lookin' like he should If you gotta play at garden parties I wish you a lot of 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 you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself La da da la da da da da But it's all right now I learned my lesson well you see you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself
