Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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)
[PreChorus]
My little baby sister can do it with me
It's easier than learning your ABCs
So come on, come on do the locomotion with me
[Chorus]
You gotta swing your hips, now
Come on, baby
Jump up, jump back
Well, I think you've got the knack, whoa, whoa
[Verse 2]
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now (Come on baby, do the locomotion)
A chug-a, chug-a motion like a railroad train, now (Come on baby, do the locomotion)
[PreChorus]
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 locomotion with me
[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Move around the floor in a locomotion (Come on baby, do the locomotion)
Do it holdin' hands if you get the notion (Come on baby, do the locomotion)
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
You gotta swing your hips, now (Come on, do the locomotion)
That's right (Come on, do the locomotion)
You're doing fine (Come on, do the locomotion)
Come on, baby (Come on, do the locomotion)
Jump up, jump back (Come on, do the locomotion)
You're lookin' good (Come on, do the locomotion)
