Garden Party

- Artist: Rick Nelson

- peak Billboard position # 6 in 1972

- inspired by Rick's experience at a Madison Square Garden concert

- Words and Music by Rick Nelson

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

Lott-in-dah-dah-dah lot-in-dah-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

Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)

Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode

Playing guitar like a-ringin' 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 rather drive a truck

CHORUS

Lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)

Lot-in-dah-dah-dah

'n' it's all right now learned my lesson well

You see ya can't please everyone so you got to please yourself
