Everybody's doin' a brand-new dance, now

(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)

I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now

(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)

My little baby sister can do it with me;

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. Jump back. Well, now, I think you've got the knack.

Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now.

(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)

A chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad 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.

Move around the floor in a Loco-motion.

(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)

Do it holding 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 feeling blue,

So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.
