Karaoke Garden Party 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

But 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 ya' got to please yourself

People came from miles around everyone was there

Yoko brought her walrus there was magic in the air

And over in the corner much to my surprise

Mister Hughes hid in

Dylan's shoes

Wearin' his disguise but it's all right now

I learned my lesson well

You see you can't please everyone so ya' got to please yourself

Lah dah dah dah dah lah dah dah dah dah

Played them all the old songs

I 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 ya' got to please yourself

Lah dah dah dah dah lah dah dah dah dah

Someone opened up the closet door

And out stepped

Johnny B Goode

Playin' guitar like a ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should

If ya' gotta play at garden parties

I wish you a lotta luck

But if memories were all I'd sing

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 ya' got to please yourself lah dah dah dah dah lah dah dah dah dah

And it's all right now yeah, I learned my lesson well

You see you can't please everyone

So ya' got to please yourself
