Garden Party lyrics by Rick Nelson
GARDEN PARTYI WENT TO A GARDEN PARTY TO REMINISCE WITH MY OLD FRIENDS
A CHANCE TO SHARE OLD MEMORIES PLAY A SONG AGAIN
WHEN I GOT TO THE GARDEN PARTY THEY ALL KNEW MY NAME
NO ONE RECOGNISED ME I DIDN'T LOOK THE SAME
CHORUS
BUT IT'S ALRIGHT NOW
I LEARNED MY LESSON WELL
YOU SEE YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE
SO YOU'VE GOT TO PLEASE YOURSELF
PEOPLE CAME FROM MILES AROUND EVERYONE WAS THERE
YOKO BROUGHT A WALRUS THERE WAS MAGIC IN THE AIR
AND OVER IN THE CORNER MUCH TO MY SUPRISE
MR HUGHES HID IN DYLAN'S SHOES HE WAS WEARING HIS DISGUISE
CHORUS
LA DA DUM, LAD'N DA DA DUM
STEEL TURNAROUND
I PLAYED THEM ALL THE OLD SONGS I THOUGHT THAT'S WHY THEY CAME
NO ONE HEARD THE MUSIC IT DIDN'T LOOK THE SAME
I SAID HELLO TO MARY LOU SHE BELONGS TO ME
WHEN THEY SANG THE SONG ABOUT A HONKY TONK IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE
CHORUS
LA DA DUM, LAD'N DA DA DUM
GUITAR TURNAROUND
SOMEONE OPENED UP THE CLOSET DOOR AN' OUT STEPPED JOHNNY B GOOD
PLAYIN' GUITAR LIKE A RINGIN' A BELL AN' LOOKIN' LIKE HE SHOULD
NOW IF YOU GOTTA PLAY A GARDEN PARTY I WISH YOU A LOT O' LUCK
BUT IF MEMORIES ARE ALL I SING I'D RATHER DRIVE A TRUCK
CHORUS
LA DA DUM, LAD'N DA DA DUM
CHORUS
