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
People came from miles around
Everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus
There was magic in the air
I played them all the old songs
I thought that's why they came
No one heard the music
We didn't look the same
Someone opened up a closet door
And out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a ringing 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
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you've got to please yourself
—Ricky Nelson
