Eva Narcissus Boyd, más conocida como Little Eva, nació en Bellhaven (EE UU) el 29 de junio de 1943 y murió el 9 de abril del 2003, en Kinston (EE. UU), después de una larga enfermedad. Trabajó como niñera para Carole King y Gerry Goffin. Estos escribieron "The Loco-Motion" inspirándose en un baile que ella solía hacer mientras cuidaba a su hija. "The Loco-Motion" fue nº 1 en Estados Unidos en 1962. El mismo año, Little Eva grabó otro éxito, "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby".
Han hecho versiones de este tema The Chiffons, John Coltrane, Sylvie Vartan, etc.
The Loco-Motion:
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 me;
It's easier than learning your A-B-C's,
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.
You gotta swing your hips, now. Come on, baby.
Jump up. Jump back. Well, now, I think you've got the knack.
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now.
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
A chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train, now.
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy, now, don't lose control:
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul.
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.
Move around the floor in a Loco-motion.
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if 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 feeling blue,
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.
(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 me;
It's easier than learning your A-B-C's,
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.
