THERE`LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE — текст песни (Billie Holiday)

W. Benton Overstreet / Billy Higgins

They say don`t change the old for the new
But I`ve found out that this will never do
When you grow old don`t last long
You`re here today and then tomorrow you`re gone
I loved a man for many years gone by
I thought his love for me would never die
He made some changes that would never do
From now on I`m going to make some changes too
For there`s a change in the weather
There`s a change in the sea
So from now on there`ll be in change in me
My walk will be different, my talk and my name
Nothin` about me is going to be the same
I`m goin` to change my wayof 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
There`ll be some changes made today
There`ll be some changes made

The say the old time things are the best
That may be very good for all the rest
But I`m goin`g 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 every one these days seeks something new
From now on I`m goin` to seek some new things too
For there`s a change in the fashion
Ask the femine folks
Even Jack Benny has changed jokes
I must make some changes from old to new
I must do things just the same as others do
I`m goin` to change my long, tall daddy for a little 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 today
There`ll be some changes made today
