Garden Party

In the style of

Ricky Nelson

Lyrics

i went to
a garden party
to reminisce with
my old friends

a chance to share
old memories
and play a song 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 alright now
i've learned
my lesson well
ya see you 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

over in the corner
much to my surprise
mr. hughes hid
in dylan's shoes
wearin' his disguise

but it's alright now
i've learned
my lesson well
ya see you can't
please everyone
so ya got to
please yourself
la da da la-n da da da

i played them all
the old songs
i thought
that's why they came

but no one
heard the music
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 alright now
i've learned
my lesson well
ya see you can't
please everyone
so ya got to
please yourself
la da da la-n da da da

someone opened up
the closet door
and out stepped
johnny b. goode

playin' guitar like
a-ringin' a bell
and lookin' like
he should

now if you gotta play
garden parties
i wish you
a lot of luck
but if memories
were all i sang
i'd rather
drive a truck

and it's alright now
i've learned
my lesson well
ya see you can't
please everyone
so ya got to
please yourself
la da da la-n da da da

well it's alright now
yeah
i've learned
my lesson well

ya see you can't
please everyone
so ya got to
please yourself
