lyrics

Gene Kelly

Gene Kelly seems like a pretty nice guy
An airy macho daddy made of dreams in the sky
Whom our mother kinda loved more than any other guy

Love comes in and love goes out, and there’s not much we can do about it
It’s foolish to try to reconcile it, oh yeah

Inside the empty barn alone at night
Gene Kelly danced the newspaper into flight
And you have to admit my mother was kinda right

Love comes in and love goes out, and there’s not much we can do about it
It’s foolish to try to reconcile it, oh yeah

The back-lit stage had a spotlight, waiting for the right guy to step inside it
My mother’s scarf was flowin’, ripplin’ in the wind wrapped ‘round Gene Kelly
Oooh, knock down those daddies, oooh knock down those daddies…

Another step-dad, another beat of the drum
Gene Kelly’s arms spread wide around every one
In Brigadoon, in Paris, and across the sun

Love comes in and love goes out, and there’s not much we can do about it
It’s foolish to try to reconcile it, oh yeah

about

Karen Elizabeth Wood Portland, Oregon

My songs are intuitive explorations of the subconscious heart. Folk? Pop? Broadway? Who knows and who cares! Vamp It is my first solo album and it draws from all the things about music that feel good to me.
