Toto was formed in Los Angeles in 1977 by David Paich, Steve Lukather, the son of hollywood Assistant Director Bill Lukather, Bobby Kimball, brothers Steve and Jeff Porcaro, and David Hungate, the son of former United States Congressman and United States District Court Judge William L. Hungate. The bandmembers had met in high school and at studio sessions in the 1970s, when they became some of the busiest session musicians in the music business. Composed entirely of seasoned studio musicians, Toto seemed to come out of nowhere. They did not get known first on the club circuit as nearly all bands do prior to being signed by a label.

Gypsy Train Lyrics

Toto

Downtown jimmy, say youre feelin kinda blue
Its no problem, this is whatcha gotta do
Telephone your baby, tell her that youre workin late
Come and pay a visit, please dont hesitate
Come join the party, come along and be our guest
Sit back and let us do the rest, were the best, yeah
Come on an meet me at the station, dont pack your bags, just fix your hair
Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta get out, just look for me, Im always there
Chorus:
Come on lets ride, ride that gypsy train
All aboard, now dont you be afraid
Come on lets ride, ride that gypsy train
Feed the fire, lets go one mo time again
Medication, little love and sympathy, cool libation, its complimentary
Play a little poker, love when the stakes are high
Lotta nasty women, givin everyone the eye
Say downtown jimmy, tell me whatcha need, satisfaction guaranteed
Guaranteed, yeah
Its a perfect situation, its so nice to have you here
Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta pull out, happy shiny people everywhere
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Its a perfect situation, its so nice to have you here
Gotta get up, gotta get in, gotta put out, happy shiny people everywhere
Chorus repeats 2x
