Ev'rybody's doin' a brand new dance now
C'mon, baby, do the locomotion
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
C'mon, baby, do the locomotion
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

You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, jump back
Oh, well, I think you got the knack!

Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
C'mon, baby, do the locomotion
A chugga-chugga motion like a railroad train now
C'mon, baby, do the locomotion
Do it nice and easy now, don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
C'mon, baby, do the locomotion

Move around the floor in a loco-motion
C'mon, baby, do the locomotion
Do it holdin' hands if you get the notion
C'mon, baby, do the locomotion
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 locomotion with me
C'mon, baby, do the locomotion
C'mon, baby, do the locomotion
C'mon, baby, do the locomotion
