OH GENA KAY (THIS MISS DIVELBISS)

from ARTFUL SAYINGS [Digitally Remastered] by The Santairs

about

Here's another demo I made on my old two track recorder with me on guitar and lead vocal and my dad on bass. The quality isn't very good, but it's good enough to preserve for fond memory purposes.
This is the first song I wrote with a person's name in it that I actually knew. I went to school with this gal and had a major crush on her. Even though my crush ran its course, I still tried my hand at writing a song about her. It's your basic rock and roll tune with a happy, upbeat melody. The lyrics leave a lot to be desired. I wrote this song and made this original demo with my father on the same day. So basically, the entire song is a first draft. According to my notes, I re-wrote about 20% of these original lyrics since they always made me cringe, but that version isn't going to see the light of day. Regardless, I had fun recording it when I was 16 years old and had a fun time overdubbing the other instruments at 45 years of age. Boy how things change and yet still stay the same.

This is song #97.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

OH GENA KAY, YOU'RE THE ONE I LOVE. YOU ARE THE GIRL THAT I'M DREAMIN' OF.
OH GENA KAY, I LOVE YOU SO. THIS MISS DIVELBISS, I WANT YOU TO KNOW.

OH GENA KAY, PLEASE STAY WITH ME. I CAN'T LET GO AND SET YOU FREE.
OH GENA KAY, I'D DIE FOR YOU. IF YOU SHOULD LEAVE ME, OH WHAT COULD I DO?

LOVE, LOVE IS ALL I NEED NOW. YOU'RE THE GIRL THAT IS SO SWEET.
LOVE, LOVE IS ALL I WANT NOW. I'LL GO DOWN AND BEG AT YOUR FEET.

OH GENA KAY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. YOU HAVE THE LOOKS AND A SPECIAL TOUCH.
OH GENA KAY, YOU ARE SO FINE. YOU SHOWED ME LOVE THAT I COULDN'T FIND.

OH GENA KAY, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE. TO BE WITH YOU IS THE ONLY FUN.
OH GENA KAY, I JUST WANNA SAY, I LOVE YOU GIRL IN SO MANY WAYS.

LOVE, LOVE IS ALL I NEED NOW. YOU'RE THE GIRL THAT IS SO SWEET.
LOVE, LOVE IS ALL I WANT NOW. I'LL GO DOWN AND BEG AT YOUR FEET.
(SOLO)
OH GENA KAY, I CAN'T GO ON. I COULDN'T LIVE IF YOU WERE GONE.
OH GENA KAY, GIVE ME SOME MORE. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT I'M LIVIN' FOR.

LOVE, LOVE IS ALL I NEED NOW. YOU'RE THE GIRL THAT IS SO SWEET.
LOVE, LOVE IS ALL I WANT NOW. THERE ARE NO GIRLS THAT CAN COMPETE.

LOVE, LOVE IS ALL I NEED NOW. YOU'RE THE GIRL THAT IS SO SWEET.
LOVE, LOVE IS ALL I WANT NOW. I'LL GO DOWN AND BEG AT YOUR FEET.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
