Song lyrics
[ред.]- 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 . . .

Quotes about Ricky Nelson
[ред.]- Ricky Nelson may not have had the country roots of the others – his mother sang in the big band led by his father, and he rose to fame on their sitcom. But his hits like “Poor Little Fool,” “Lonesome Town” and “Hello Mary Lou” fit in perfectly with the country-infused rock and pop of the [time]. In the mid-‘60s, Nelson reinvented himself as a country singer and help usher in that era.
- Dave Lifton of Ultimate Classic Rock (December 16, 2016) [1]
