Everybody's doin' 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 A B C's
So come on, come on
And do the locomotion with me

You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up
(Jump up)
Jump back
(Jump back)
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

Move around the floor in a locomotion
(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
And do the locomotion

Come on, come on and do the locomotion
Come on, come on and do the locomotion with me
Come on
