The Loco-motion Lyrics


Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance, now
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier to learn than your A B C's
So come on, come on and do the loco-motion with me
You got to swing your hips now
Come on, jump up, jump back
Oh, babe, I think you got the knack, whoa, whoa
Now that you can do it, well let's make a chain now
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
A chugga, chugga motion like a railroad train now
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
Do it nice and easy, now, and don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
Well, come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me

Whoa whoa, move around the floor in a loco-motion
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
Do it holdin' hands, if'n you get the notion
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feelin' blue
So come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
So come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
So come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion

Grand Funk Railroad is an American band which formed in 1969 in Flint, Michigan, United States. The band initially consisted of Mark Farner (vocals, guitar), Mel Schacher (bass) and Don Brewer (drums), with Craig Frost (keyboards) joining in 1972. During their career, the band released 14 studio albums and their career sales total over 25 million records sold, including 10 million records sold in 1970 alone.

The band split in 1977 and reunited in 1980 and split again in 1983. Since reuniting in 1996 they have remained active, although Farner left the band in 1999. The band currently consists of Max Carl (vocals), Bruce Kulick (guitar), Mel Schacher (bass), Tim Cashion (keyboards) and Don Brewer (drums, vocals).

Early in their career they headlined a much hyped free concert in Hyde Park - whilst virtually unknown in the UK. They also opened for Led Zeppelin in Michigan, their home state.

Despite their name, their music is far from funk; the name Grand Funk Railroad is a play on Michigan's "Grand Trunk Western Railroad" line, and it was chosen before "funk" had become the name of a music genre.

In 1968, suburban Michigan teens Don Brewer and Mark Farner quit Terry Knight & The Pack and recruited ? and the Mysterians bass player Mel Schacher to form a "power trio" type band.

Originally produced and managed by former band leader Terry Knight who brought the group to Capitol records in 1969, they split from Knight in 1972 after money issues left the group nearly bankrupt despite massive commercial success which began after an successful appearance at the Atlanta Pop Festival.

After releasing 12 albums on Capitol (10 platinum), they intend for their final release to be Born To Die in 1975. They actually reunited & recorded one last effort in 1976 with Frank Zappa called "Good Singin' Good Playin' " and then called it quits.

Farner released two solo albums, Mel & Don recorded as Flint with Craig before Craig joined Bob Seger's band. In 1981 Mark Farner & Don reformed the band without Mel and released a song on the animated Heavy Metal soundtrack and new album Grand Funk Lives. They toured until 1983.

In 1996 all three original members reunited for a summer tour in which they played to over 250,000 people, and a slate of Bosnian relief dates in 1997 including several TV performances. In 1998 they did a 65+ date tour listed as one of the 10 top grossing tours of the year. In 1999 Capitol issued a 3 disc box set called "Thirty Years Of Funk" 1969-1999, including recent recordings made in 1997.

Original Grand Funk Railroad members Don & Mel still tour and write new material to this day although the group have seen various line up changes, including the absence of original lead singer Mark Farner. Mark is active with his New band Nr'G. They have released 3 CD's since 1999 with For The People released in 2006.
