Rick Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band:

Garden Party

“But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well. You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself”

这句话的意思是 “我已经学好的这一棵，你看，你不能讨好所有人，所以你只能讨好自己。。。”在茫茫人还中你试着去找到你自己的圈子，找到你在这个世界上的位置。突然你发现你在长大，简单的一切变成了复杂， 世界也变的有点可怕。然后你回想到你和你和你朋友之间发生的一些事情发现虚伪，悲伤，欺骗甚至连微笑都很危险。你现在感觉非常无住，花了那么心思和努力让别人去接受你都变成了浪费。不过每一天都是一个新的开始，在你迷惑的时候记住这首歌。如果那些人是你的真正的朋友他们就不会借以你是做什么。个性能让你点亮你身边的人的天空。。。

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
