John Fogerty, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit - Garden Party lyrics

[John Fogerty, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit - Garden Party lyrics]

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
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

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 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

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

But, it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please, everyone
So you got to please, yourself
