intro - 4 bars
verse 1 - RK only
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 recognised me, I didn't look the same
chorus - all
But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well.
You see you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
verse 2 - RK
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.
chorus
But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well.
You see you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
bridge
Lot 'n' da da da, lot 'n' da da da (steel guitar lick)
verse 3 - RK
Someone opened up the 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'd rather drive a truck.
chorus
But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well.
You see you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
bridge
Lot 'n' da da da, lot 'n' da da da (acoustic guitar lick)
chorus - end
But it's all right now. I learned my lesson well.
You see you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself.
