The Mamas & The Papas - Lady Genevieve

Copied!

In a place far from here
Circled by mountains
Her skirts are raised;
She gently sways

(?) deceive
Lady Genevieve

Blue of blouse
Crystal sphere
Slowly revolving---
Her life is seen;
The blues are green
Kings cannot believe
Lady Geneveie
Butterfly to appear
Frozen in final motion
The bargain's made;
Her colors fade
Collectors have achieved
Lady Genevieve
Night has come
So spread your wings
While they all are sleeping
Try the wind;
Your wings shall mend
Happily conceive
Lady Genevieve
Lady Genevieve
Torn from the willow
Rest your head
Ooh, rest your head
No one shall receive Lady Genevieve

The Mamas and the Papas were a folk rock and psychedelic pop vocal group who recorded and performed on 1965–1968. They’re a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the ‘60s—the hippie movement.

Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early sixties.

The Mamas & The Papas released a total of five studio albums and seventeen singles over a four-year period, six of which made the Billboard top ten, and have sold close to 40 million records worldwide. These hit singles were:

No. 4: “California Dreamin'” No. 1: “Monday, Monday” No. 5: “I Saw Her Again” No. 5: “Words of Love” No. 2: “Dedicated to the One I Love” No. 5: “Creeque Alley” The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for their contributions to the music industry. The band reunited briefly to record the album People Like Us in 1971, but had ceased touring and performing by that time.
