1. Everybody's doin' a brand-new dance now
((come on come on, do the loco-motion))
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
((come on come on, do the loco-motion))
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learnin' your ABC's
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
2. You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, jump back
Oh well, I think you got the knack
3. Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
((come on baby, do the loco-motion))
Chug-a-chug-a motion like a railway 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
4. Move around the floor in a loco-motion
((come on baby, do the loco-motion))
Do it holdin' 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 feelin' blue
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
