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 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, So now I'm going to make some changes, too.
Why, 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 be different, my talk, and my name, Nothing about me's going to be the same; I'm gonna change my long tall one for a little short 'n fat, I'm gonna change my number that I'm living at; Because nobody wants you when you're old and gray. There's gonna be some changes made today, There'll be some changes made.
Why, 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 living, 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.
