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, ya 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   'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise   Mr. hughes hid in dylan's shoes wearing his disguise      Chorus      Lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah      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      Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)   Lot-in-dah-dah-dah      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 rather drive a truck      Chorus      Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)   Lot-in-dah-dah-dah      'n' it's all right now, learned my lesson well   You see, ya can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself      Transcribed by robin hood
