Written by: Rick 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

(CHORUS)
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

(CHORUS)

La da da da.....

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

(CHORUS)

La da da da.....

Someone opened up a closet door
And out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringing a bell
And looking 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

(CHORUS)

La da da da.....

And it's all right now
Learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
