People came from miles around, everyone was there,
Yoko brought her walrus , there was magic in the air.
An' 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, you can't please everyone, so ya gotta please yourself.
Lott-dah-dah, lott-in-dah-dah dah.

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.

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, you can't please everyone, so ya gotta please yourself.
Lott-dah-dah, lott-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.
Now, if you gotta play a garden party, I wish you a lotta luck,
But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck.

And it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, you can't please everyone, so ya gotta please yourself.

Lott-dah-dah (lott-dah-dah-dah), lott-in-dah-dah-dah.

An' it's all right now, yeah, learned my lesson well.
You see, you can't please everyone, so you gotta please yourself.
