Ohhh yeah, uh-uh-huh, oh yeah
Everybody's doin' the 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 learnin' your ABC's
So come on, come on and do the locomotion with me
Ohhh yeah, ub-uh-huh, oh yeah.
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
Come on baby, do the locomotion
A chugga, chugga 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 lotta soul
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me.
Chorus:
You've gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, jump back
Well, I think you've got the nack
Lead.
Chorus:
You've gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, jump back
Well, I think you've got the nack
Lead.
Move around the floor in a-locomotion
Come on baby, do the locomotion
Do it holdin' hands till 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 feelin' blue.
C'mon baby, do the locomotion
Uh-huh-huh, yeah baby, do the locomotion
Uh-huh-huh, baby, please do the locomotion
C'mon, c'mon and do...
