There'll Be Some Changes Made

They say, 'don't change the old for the new'

But I've found out this will never do

When you grow old, you don't last long

You're here today and then tomorrow you're gone

I loved a gal for many years gone by

I thought her love for me would never die

She made some changes that would never do

From now on I'm goin' to make some changes too

For there's a change in the weather

There's a change in the sea

So, from now on there'll be a change in me

My walk will be different, my talk and my name

Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same

I'm goin' to change my way of livin' if that ain't enough

Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff

'Cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray

There'll be some change made

They say, 'the old time things are the best'

That may be very good for all the rest

But I'm goin' to let the old things be

'Cause they are certainly not suited for me

There was a time when I thought that way

That's why I'm all alone here, today

Since everyone of these days seeks something new

From now on I'm goin' to seek some new things too

For there's a change in the fashions

Ask the feminine folks

Even Jack Benny has been changing jokes

I must make some changes from old to the new

I must do things just the same as others do

I'm goin' to change my long, tall mama for a little short fat

Goin' to change the number where I live at

I must have some lovin', or I'll fade away

There'll be some changes made
