Karaoke Track: Garden Party by Ricky Nelson (All Hits) - Karaoke Nerds

I went to a garden party to
reminisce with my old
friends
And the 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
Mr. Hughes sittin' 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

La-n-da-da, La-mda-da-da

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 honkytonk it was time
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 honkytonk 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
La-n-da-da-da, la-n-da-da-da

Someone opened up
the closet door
You see you can't please
everyone so ya' got to
please yourself
La-n-da-da-da, la-n-da-da-da

Someone opened up
the closet door

And out stepped
Johnny B. Goode

If ya' gotta play at garden
parties I wish you
a lotta luck

But if memories are 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

La-n-da-da, la-n-da-da-da
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
