I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends.
A chance to hear them old songs again,
make new 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.
A people came from miles around.
Everyone was there.
Yoko brought a wall of rocks that 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.
You see, you can't please everyone, so
you got to please yourself.
La da da da.
La da da da.
Well, they did them old songs.
That's why they came.
No one heard the music.
We didn't look the same.
But I said hello to Mary Lou. She belongs to me.
But when I start on some honky tonk song,
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.
La da da da.
La da da da.
Hey,
come on.
Someone open up a closet door and out step Johnny B. Goode.
Playing guitar like a ring on a bell,
looking like he should.
But if you got to play him garden parties,
I wish you a lot of 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.
You see,
you can't please everyone,
so you got to please yourself.
You know, it's all right now.
I learned my lesson well.
You see,
you can't please everyone,
so you got to please yourself.
You got to please yourself.
