There'll Be Some Changes Made Songtext
von Ethel Waters’ Jazz Masters

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.
