There'll be some changes made
Frank Trumbauer and His Orchestra Lyrics

They say, 'don't change the old for the new'
The common belief is to not replace old things with new ones

But I've found out this will never do
However, I have realized that this approach is not satisfactory

When you grow old, you don't last long
As you age, your time on this earth becomes limited

You're here today and then tomorrow you're gone
One moment you are present, and the next moment you are no longer alive

I loved a gal for many years gone by
I had deep affection for a woman in the past

I thought her love for me would never die
I believed her love for me would be eternal

She made some changes that would never do
However, she made decisions that were unacceptable to me

From now on I'm goin' to make some changes too
Therefore, I am determined to make changes in my own life

For there's a change in the weather
The weather is experiencing a shift

There's a change in the sea
The sea is undergoing a transformation

So, from now on there'll be a change in me
Henceforth, I will also undergo a personal change

My walk will be different, my talk and my name
I will display new mannerisms and alter the way I communicate and how I am addressed

Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same
There will be no aspect of myself that remains unchanged

I'm goin' to change my way of livin' if that ain't enough
I am going to modify my lifestyle, and if that is insufficient

Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff
Then I will even modify the way I confidently display myself

'Cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray
Because people generally lose interest in individuals who are old and have gray hair

There'll be some change made
Therefore, I will definitely make some alterations

They say, 'the old time things are the best'
It is commonly said that things from the past are superior

That may be very good for all the rest
While that may be true for others

But I'm goin' to let the old things be
I, however, will leave the old things unchanged

'Cause they are certainly not suited for me
As they are definitely not suitable for my preferences

There was a time when I thought that way
There was a period when I held that belief

That's why I'm all alone here, today
That is why I find myself alone in this present time

Since everyone of these days seeks something new
Considering that everyone nowadays desires something fresh

From now on I'm goin' to seek some new things too
Moving forward, I will also look for new experiences

For there's a change in the fashions
The fashion trends have evolved

Ask the feminine folks
One can confirm this by inquiring women

Even Jack Benny has been changing jokes
Even Jack Benny, a well-known comedian, has been modifying his jokes

I must make some changes from old to the new
I am compelled to make changes from outdated to contemporary aspects

I must do things just the same as others do
I must adopt the same actions and behaviors as everyone else

I'm goin' to change my long, tall mama for a little short fat
I will exchange my tall and slender romantic partner for someone who is petite and stout

Goin' to change the number where I live at
I will alter my residential address

I must have some lovin', or I'll fade away
I need to experience love, or else I will deteriorate and lose vitality

There'll be some changes made
Consequently, I will definitely make some alterations
