Intro: ) () 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 a garden party, they all knew my name () No one recognized me, I didn’t look the same. () But it’s all right now () I’ve 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 'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise () Lat-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-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 (Chorus) Someone opened up a closet door, and out stepped Johnny B. Goode Playing guitar like a-ringin’ a bell, and looking like he should. If you gotta play a garden party, I wish you a lotta luck But if memories were all I sang, I’d rather drive a truck. Chorus X2
