Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now,
(Come on baby, do the locomotion)
I know you'll get tot like it if you give it a chance now,
(Come on baby, do the locomotion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease,
It's easier than learning your A B Cs,
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.

Oh now that you can do it let's make a train now,
(Come on baby, do the locomotion)
Chug a chug a motion like a railroad train now,
(Come on baby, do the locomotion)
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 locomotion with me.

The locomotion
Come on, come on...the locomotion
Come on, come on...the locomotion
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Move around the floor in a locomotion,
(Come on baby, do the locomotion)
Do it holdin' hands if you get the notion.
(Come on 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.

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

Do the loc, do the loc, do the loc the locomotion
Do the loc, do the loc, do the loc the locomotion

Do it nice and easy now don't lose control,
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul,
Come on...do the locomotion with me
