Garden Party - John Fogerty, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit

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

But no one recognized me I didn’t look the same

But it’s all right now

I learned my lesson well

You see you can’t please ev’ryone so

You got to please yourself

People came for miles around everyone was there

Yoko brought her walrus there was magic in the air

And over in the corner much to my surprise

Mr. Hughes hid in dylan’s shoes wearing his disguise

I played them all the old songs I 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

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped johnny b.

Goode

Playing guitar like a ring an' a bell and lookin' like he should

If you gotta play at garden parties I wish you a lot a' luck

But if memories were all I sang I’d ratherdrive a truck
