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

'n' 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

lott-in-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

But it's all right now,

I learned my lesson well.

See you can't please everyone

so you got to please yourself

lot-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'd rather drive a truck

And it's all right now,

I learned my lesson well.

See you can't please everyone

so you got to please yourself

lot-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)

lot-in-dah-dah-dah

And it's all right now,

I learned my lesson well

See you can't please everyone

so you got to please yourself
