Intro

 Verse 1 :

Everybody's doing a brand new dance now

(come on baby do the locomotion)

I know you'll get to like it

 if you give it a chance now

(come on baby do the locomotion)

Chorus

My little baby sister can do it with ease

It's easier than learning your ABC

 So come on, come on do the locomotion with me

Bridge

You gotta swing your hips now

 Come on baby jump up, jump back

Well I think you got the knack, whoa, whoa

Verse 2

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

 (come on baby do the locomotion)

A chuga chuga motion like a railway train now

 (come on baby do the locomotion)

Chorus

Do it nice and easy now don't loose control

A little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul

Come on come on do the locomotion with me

Guitar solo

Verse 3

Move around the floor in a locomotion

 (come on baby do the locomotion)

Do it holding hands if you do get the notion

 (come on baby do the locomotion)

Chorus

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 locomotion with me

(come on baby do the locomotion)

Outro

So come on, come on do the locomotion with me

(come on baby do the locomotion)

So come on, come on do the locomotion with me
