| 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 man (gal) for many years gone by
|
| I tho’t his (her) love for me would never die
|
| He (She) made some changes that would never do
|
| From now on I’m goin' to make some changs 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 diff’rent, 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 changes 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 ev’ry one 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 weather
|
| There’s a change in the sea
|
| So from now on there’ll be a change in me
|
| Why, my walk will be be different, and my talk and my name
|
| Nothing about me gonna be the same
|
| I’m gonna change my way of livin', and that ain’t no shock
|
| Why, I’m thinking of changin' the way I gotta set my clock
|
| Because nobody wants you when you’re old and gray
|
| There’s gonna be some changes made today
|
| There’ll be some changes made |
