Garden Party (1972) Lyrics - 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 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

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Prime Day concert by Amazon Music will be headlined by Taylor Swift 

NEW SONG: Madonna - 'God Control' - LYRICS 

An 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 ya can't please everyone 

So ya 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 

Photos 

But it's, all right now 

I learned my lesson well 

You see ya can't please everyone 

So ya got to please yourself 

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 lot of 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 ya can't please everyone 

So ya got to please yourself 

lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) 

lot-in-dah-dah-dah 

And it's, all right now (yeah) 

Learned my lesson well 

You see, ya can't please everyone 

So you got to please yourself
