Songs

• 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
  no one recognized me
  I didn't look the same
  But it's all right now
  I learned my lesson well
  You see ya 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
  But it's all right now
  I learned my lesson well
  You see, ya can't please everyone
  So ya got to please yourself . . .
