There'll Be Some Changes Made

THERE'LL BE SOME CHANGES MADE

Benny Goodman with vocal by Louise Tobin

Words Billy Higgins and Music by W.B. Overstreet

Peaked at # 6 in 1941

Also charted :

#5- January 1922 by Ethel Waters

#5 -November 1924 by Ted Lewis

#10-January 1928 by Sophie Tucker

#2(2)-April 1941 on YOUR HIT PARADE radio broadcasts

The 1941 hit version had a 1:32 instrumental introduction which only left time

for the chorus:

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

BRI'm tired of working all of my life

BRI'm gonna grab a rich husband and be his wife

BRI'm going to ride around in a big limousine

BRWear fancy clothes and put on plenty of steam

BRNo more tired puppies, will I treat you mean

BRThere'll be some changes made to-day

BRThere'll be some changes made.

BR

BR5.

BR

BRFor there's a change in your manner

BRThere's a change in your smile

BRFrom now on you can't be worth my while

BRI'm right here to tell you with you I'm thru

BRYour brand of lovin' will never do

BRI'm gettin' tired of eating just butter and bread

BRI could enjoy a few pork chops instead

BRYou know variety is the spice of life they say

BRThere'll be some changes made to-day (I'll get mine)

BRThere'll be some changes made.
