[Verse 1] 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 did not 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 [Verse 2] People came from 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] I played them all the old songs, I thought that's why they came But no one heard the music, we didn't look the same I said hello to Mary Lou, she belongs to me And when I sang a song about a Honky Tonk, it was time to leave [Chorus] [Verse 4] Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Good Playing guitar like ringing a bell and looking like he should If you got to play at garden parties, I wish you a lot of luck But if memories were all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck [Chorus] [Outro] You can't please everyone so you got to please yourself
