Lyrics

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it
If you give it a chance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
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, hmmm jump back
Oh well I think you got the knack (Whoa, whoa)
Now that you can do it
Let's make a chain now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Chug-a-chug-a motion like a railway train now
(C'mon 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 (Hoo! Uh-Oh! Oh,Yeah!)
The loco-motion
Come on, come on
The loco-motion
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(C'mon 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
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
Yeah
Come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now.
