"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 . . ."
