Hello! Welcome to the gym!

Well, that’s what we’re here for —

How did you get that? Hahaha!
We’ll take care of your back
We’ll straighten you out all the way!

That’s what you are looking for!

Hello! Welcome to the gym!
Whoa oh oh! No need for medicine!
Hello! Welcome to the gym!
Whoa oh oh! Real deal nutrition!
No pain, no gain!

We’ll make you come out of the gymnasium
A healthy young hero!

We deal with absolute just nutrition!
Food supplements, no drugs
That’s what’s wrong with competition —
Drugs!
We’ll make a real champion out of you!

Now your health will be restored!
That’s what you are looking for!

Hello! Welcome to the gym!

Hey, you’re getting the spirit!
I guess I underestimated you!

Hello! Welcome to the gym!
Whoa oh oh! No need for medicine!
Hello! Welcome to the gym!
Whoa oh oh! Real deal nutrition!
Remember…
No pain, no gain!

Dead Lift

Progressive resistance
Lots of repetitions
Lift something very light
Then something heavier to build your might!
You must do a lot of reps
Complete all of your sets
Then something heavier
Warming up like this so you don’t get hurt!

There’s so much to know
Promise not to laugh when I pose!
Okay, let’s go!
This is what a body’s supposed to look like!
I do so much to grow!
Promise not to laugh when I pose
Okay, let’s go!
This is what a body’s supposed to look like!

We work out till it hurts
I’ll show you with no shirt
People don’t understand
I can do a pose routine on demand!
Promise you won’t laugh at me
Beautiful philosophy
Healthy sport and an art
sculpting every day, every body part!

There’s so much to know
Promise not to laugh when I pose!
Okay, let’s go!
This is what a body’s supposed to look like!
I do so much to grow!
Promise not to laugh when I pose
Okay, let’s go!
This is what a body’s supposed to look like!

Hey!
Well, you told me to show you!
Ah, you’re just like the others
You didn’t mean to laugh, but you did!

You think I’m funny, huh?
Stop that! Stop this!
I’m not ugly!
I am beautiful!

I’m not ugly! I’m beautiful!
This is what a body’s supposed to look like!
I’m not ugly! I’m beautiful!
This is what a body’s supposed to look like!

Stop laughing at me! I’m not ugly!
Stop laughing at me! I’m beautiful!

Stop laughing at me!
This is what a body’s supposed to look like!
I’m not ugly!
This is what a body’s supposed to look like!
Stop laughing at me!
This is what a body’s supposed to look like!
I’m beautiful!
This is what a body’s supposed to look like!

Welcome to The Gym!

Formats: Digital, Vinyl, Limited-Edition CD (2019 Tour Exclusive)

This 2019 45RPM 2-song 7-inch was produced as a companion to the fan-favorite “Two More!” record from 2012. Both releases take on physical fitness-themed Austroploitation originating from the 1970’s and unleash the motivational aspects of training. The songs utilize bodybuilding as a ballsy metaphor for personal growth and perseverance, so you don’t need to be a roid-raging muscle fanatic to appreciate the lyrics.

Prior to recording each, ArnoCorps were set to embark on major tours with new members, so new songs were released to cement the updated lineup. In the case of “Welcome to the Gym!”, we were pumped to introduce our new guitarist Öddum Kriegtroll as an official new member prior to our 2019 UK/Ireland Blockbuster Summer Tour. Upon hearing the new songs, label-owner Jello Biafra proclaimed them to be his all-time favorite songs by ArnoCorps.
