There'll Be Some Changes Made Lyrics - Benny Goodman

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
