Garden Party Lyrics - Nelson

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

Lot-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, ya can't please everyone, so ya 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, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself
