Intro

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)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABCs

So come on, come on
Do the locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby, jump up, jump back
Oh well, I think you got the knack, oh

Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
(Come on, baby, do the locomotion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
(Come on, baby, do the locomotion)
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 locomotion with me

(Saxofonsolo)

Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Come on, baby, do the locomotion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(Come on, baby, do the locomotion)
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, jump up, jump back
Oh well, I think you got the knack, oh
