245. There’ll Be Some Changes Made (1921)

lyrics by Billy Higgins 

music by W. Benton Overstreet 

[stereo recording]

For there’s a change in the weather
There’s a change in the sea
From now on there’ll be in change in me
My walk will be different my talk and my name
Nothing about me is going to be the same

I’m going to change my way of living
If that ain’t enough
Then I’ll change the way that I strut my stuff
Nobody wants you when you’re old and gray
There’ll be some changes made – today
There’ll be some changes made

(bridge)

For there’s a change in the fashions
Ask just feminine folks
Even Sinatra has been changing his jokes
I must make some changes from the old to the new
I must do things just the same as others do

I’m going to change my long tall daddy for a little short fat
Going to change the number where I’m living at
I must have some loving or I’ll fade away
There’ll be some changes made – right away
There’ll be some changes made
