Chet Atkins - There'll Be Some Changes Made lyrics

(Billy Higgins, W. Benton Overstreet)

(parody lyrics by Chet Atkins,

Mark Knopfler, Margaret Archer)

There'll be a change in the weather

And a change in the scene

How is that?

I'm gonna start wearin' leather

And change my routine

I'll wear dark glasses maybe a toupee

I'll get down and boogie and become risqué

I'll start wearin' make-up like Jackson and Prince

You'll see me ridin' in my Mercedes Benz

Nobody wants you when you just play guitar

There'll be some changes made tomorrow

There'll be some changes made

Y'know Chet, you're never gonna get

To play that rock & roll

Why is that?

You're kinda country, a little bit old

That hurts

But your money for nothin'

And your chicks for free

Well, them groupie girls

Ain't what they're cracked up to be

Well, not all of them anyway

Well, I'd really like to find out

For myself, don't you know

I've had a kind of quiet life

Down here on music row

Oh, I know

Well uh?like a man, what do you think?

Man, I don't know

I really think that I can make the grade

Daddy-o, Daddy-o

There'll be some changes made

I think I was sharp there

Just play one, just play

Yeah

You've played before

Watch it, watch it

Stand back boy

Well, I'd really like to find out for myself

Don't you know, 'cause

Like I said I've had a sheltered life

Down here on music row

I don't believe so

Well, what?what do you think Mark?

I don't know

I really think that I can make the grade

There'll be some changes

Now listen to this

I'm gonna play some rock and roll

There'll be some changes made, yeah

There'll be some changes made

Now let's all play

Anybody hurt?

I learned this at?at summer Bible school

Well, I never could trust a saint

I'm only a part-time saint

Pretty good but you're no Mark Knopfler

What about that one there?

Not all that bad

I like that

I like that

Don't make me look bad now

Don't make me look bad

Respect for your elders

There'll be some changes made
