Lyrics
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 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
But it's all right now,
I learned my lesson well,
you see, you can't please everyone,
so, you got to please yourself
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, you can't please everyone,
so, you got to please yourself
Someone opened up a closet door,
and out stepped Johnny B. Goode,
playing guitar like a ringing 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, you can't please everyone,
so, you got to please yourself
And it's all right now,
I learned my lesson well,
you see, you can't please everyone,
so, you got to please yourself
