They say don't change the old for the new
But I found out that this will never do
When you grow old, you don't last long
You're just here my honey, then you're gone

I loved a man for many years gone by
I thought his love for me would never die
He made a change and said I would not do
For now I'm gonna 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
Nothing about me is goin' 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 changes made today
There'll be some changes made

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 Mamma 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
