They say don't change the old for the new

But I've found out that this will never do

When you grow old don't last long

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

I loved a man for many years gone by

I thought his love for me would never die

He made some changes that would never do

From now on I'm going 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 in change in me

My walk will be different, my talk and my name

Nothin' about me is going to be the same

I'm goin' to change my wayof 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 changes made today

There'll be some changes made



The say the old time things are the best

That may be very good for all the rest

But I'm goin'g 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 every one these days seeks something new

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

For there's a change in the fashion

Ask the femine folks

Even Jack Benny has changed jokes

I must make some changes from old to new

I must do things just the same as others do

I'm goin' to change my long, tall daddy 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 today

There'll be some changes made today
