Garden Party - Rick Nelson/The Stone Canyon Band

作曲：Ricky Nelson

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

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

'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

You see you can't please everyone

so you got to please yourself

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

But it's all right now

I learned my lesson well

You see you can't please everyone

so you got to please yourself

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

Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Someone opened up a closet door

out stepped Johnny B Goode

Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell

and lookin' like he should

you gotta play at garden parties

I wish you a lotta luck

But if memories were all I sang

I 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

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 you can't please everyone

so you got to please yourself
