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 ABC's
So come on, come on and do the locomotion with me

You got to swing your hips out
Come on baby
Jump up, mmm-mm
Jump back
Well, I think you got the knack

Whooaaa

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 rythem and a lot of soul
So come on, come on and do the locomotion with me

Move around the floor in a locomotion
(come on baby, do the locomotion)
Do it holding hands if you get 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 and do the locomotion
Come on, come on and do it with me!
