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 chance and said I would not do

For now I'm gonna 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 different, my talk and my name

Nothing about me's goin' be the same

I'm gonna change my long tall one for a little short fat

I'm gonna change my number where I'm livin' at

Because nobody wants you when you're old and gray

There'll 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 different, 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 bluff

Why I'm thinkin' about changing the way I'm gonna strut my stuff

Because nobody wants you when you're old and gray

There'll be some changes made today

There'll be some changes made
