Standard (EADGBE)
Everybody'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 A B C's
So c'mon, c'mon, do the locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
C'mon baby
jump up, jump back
add4
Oh well, I think you've got the knack
Now that you can do it let's make a chain, now
(C'mon baby, do the locomotion)
Chug-a-chug-a-motion
like a railway train now
(C'mon baby, do the locomotion)
Do it nice and easy now
and don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul
So c'mon, c'mon, do the locomotion with me.
Move around the floor in a locomotion
(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.
