Lyrics:
First verse
They say don't change the old for the new, But I've found out that 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 man for many years gone by, I thoo't his love for me would never die, He made some changes that would never do From no on I'm going' to make some changes too.
First Chorus
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 diffrent my talk and my name Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same, I 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 changes made today There'll be some chages made. 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 diffrent my talk and my name Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same, I 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 changes made today There'll be some chages made.
Second verse
They say the old time things are the best, That may be very good for all the rest But I'm goin' 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 ev'ry one these days seeks something new From now on I'm goin' to see some new things too.
Second chorus
For there's a change in the fashions there's a change in the shoes There's a new way the people get their Booze, I must make some changes from old to the new I must do things just the same as others do, I goin' to change my long tall Daddy for a little short Fat, Goin' to change the number where I live at. I'm goin' to to try Boncilla, Dye my hair There'll be some changes made today There'll be some changes made. For there's a change in the fashions there's a change in the shoes There's a new way the people get their Booze, I must make some changes from old to the new I must do things just the same as others do, I goin' to change my long tall Daddy for a little short Fat, Goin' to change the number where I live at. I'm goin' to to try Boncilla, Dye my hair There'll be some changes made today There'll be some changes made.
