Ricky Nelson - Garden Party 1972

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, you can't please everyone,
so you 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, you can't please everyone,
so you got to please yourself

lott-in-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

  • I had the pleasure of kissing that adorable man on stage in the late l980s.:-)

  • 1972, what a fabulous year for music.

  • What concert/venue is this from? Is this on a video/dvd ?

    Thanks...

  • Great-looking guitar !

  • The Last part of the song is the payoff..why cut it?

    "If memories were all I had, I'd rather drive a truck!" Still love him!

  • He just kept getting better and better looking!!

  • I saw Ricky Nelson and Fats Domino at the Universal Amphitheater in August 1985 a few months before the fatal plane crash.

  • sounded like reggae till the slide came in

  • too bad that got cut off, love the last lines

  • I saw Rick sing this at the Orange Cty Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, CA. shortly before his death.
