Everybody's doing a brand-new dance now

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

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

A chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train now

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

Do it holding hands if you get the notion

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 baby

You Jump back Come on baby Jump back
