|
There'll be a change in the weather, a change in the sea.
|
Before long there'll be a change in me.
|
My walk will be diff'rent, my talk and my name,
|
Ain't nothin' about me is gonna to be the same.
|
I'm goin' to change my way of livin', boys, (if) that ain't enough,
|
Well then I'll change the way I strut my stuff,
|
Nobody wants you when you're old and gray.
|
There'll be some changes made to-daaay.
|
There'll be some changes made.

|
|
There'll Be Some Changes Made
|
Benny Goodman
|
Lyric by Billy Higgins
|
Music by W. Benton Overstreet
|
|
- Note: this is taken from the sheet music originally published 1921, 1923.
|
I don't know if it is the Benny Goodman version. I also do not
|
know the order (verse-chorus-verse-chorus) as the sheet music is a bit
|
confusing. Hope it's useful. If not, corrections are welcome.
|
|
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.
|
|
Chorus:
|
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
|
Ther'll be some change made.
|
|
Verse:
|
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.
|
|
Chorus:
|
For there's a change in the fashions,
|
Ask the fiminine 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 Mamma(Daddy) for a ittle 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.
|
|
From: "David B Voss"
|
|
Here are additional choruses that appear on the inside page in the sheet
|
music. Interesting.
|
|
1.
|
|
There's a change in your manner
|
And a change in your way
|
There was time once when you was O.K.
|
You once said you save ev'ry kiss for my sake
|
Now your're giving all the girls an even break
|
I'm gonna send out invitations to the men I know
|
Cause your're gettin' colder than a Eskimo
|
I must have my lovin' or I'll fade away
|
There'll be some changes made to-day
|
There'll be some changes made.
|
|
2..
|
|
For there's a change in your manner
|
There's a change in your style
|
And here of late you never wear a smile
|
You don't seem to act like a real lover should
|
You can't thrill your mamma if your're made of wood
|
I gotta have a man who loves me like a real live Sheik
|
With a tasty kiss that lingers for a week
|
I'm not over sixty so it's time to say
|
There'll be some changes made to-day
|
There'll be some changes made.
|
|
3.
|
|
For there's a change in your squewezin'
|
There's a change in your kiss
|
It used to have a kick that I now miss
|
You'd set me on fire when you used to tease
|
Now each time you call I just sit there and freeze
|
You had a way of making love that made a hit with me
|
One time you could thrilll me but it's plain to see
|
You're not so ambitious as you used to be
|
There'll be some changes made to-day
|
There'll be some changes made.
|
|
4.
|
|
There's a change in the weather
|
There's a change in the sea
|
>From now on There'll be a change in me
|
I'm tired of working all of my life
|
I'm gonna grab a rich husband and be his wife
|
I'm going to ride around in a big limousine
|
Wear fancy clothes and put on plenty of steam
|
No more tired puppies, will I treat you mean
|
There'll be some changes made to-day
|
There'll be some changes made.
|
|
5.
|
|
For there's a change in your manner
|
There's a change in your smile
|
>From now on you can't be worth my while
|
I'm right here to tell you with you I'm thru
|
Your brand of lovin' will never do
|
I'm gettin' tired of eating just butter and bread
|
I could enjoy a few pork chops instead
|
You know variety is the spice of life they say
|
There'll be some changes made to-day (I'll get mine)
|
There'll be some changes made.
