Garden Party

by Rick Nelson

v.1
DWell I went to a garden Gparty, to remiDnisce with my old Gfriends
DA chance to share old Bmmemories, Gplay our Asongs aDgain
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No-one recognized me, I didn't look the same

Chorus:
But it's Gall Aright Dnow, I Glearned my Alesson Dwell
Y'see you Gcan't please Deveryone
So ya Ggot to Aplease yourDself

v.2
People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
Over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes, wearin his disguise

Rpt. Ch.
Instr. Brk.

v.3
Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No-one heard the music, it didn't look the same
Said hello to Mary Lou, she belonged to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave

Rpt. Ch.
Instr. Brk.

v.4
We opened up the closet door, out stepped Johnny B Goode
Playin' guitar like a-ringin' a bell, lookin' like he should
Now if you gotta play a garden party, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories is all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck

Rpt. Ch.[2t]
