Everybody's doing 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 ease
It's easier than learnin' 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

Wo, wo
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
Come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me

Yay, yay, yay, yeah
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

(come on, do the Loco-Motion...)
You gotta swing your hips, now
That's right
You're doin' fine
Come on baby
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Jump up, jump back
You're lookin' good
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Jump up, jump back...
