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   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   See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself      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   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-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'd rather drive a truck      But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well   See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself      But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well   See you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself
