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
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
