Everybody's doing a brand-new dance, now (come on baby, do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now (come on baby, do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with me
It's easier than learning your a-b-c
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips, now

Come on, baby
Jump up
Jump back
Well, now, I think you've got the knack
Wow, wow

Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now (come on baby, do the loco-motion)
A chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train, now (come on baby, do the loco-motion)
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 loco-motion with me
Ye-ye-ye-yeah

Move around the floor in a loco-motion (come on baby, do the loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you get the notion (come on baby, do the loco-motion)

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

(Come one)
You gotta swing your hips, now (come one)
That's right (do the loco-motion)
You're doing fine! (come one, do the loco-motion)
Come on, babe (come one, do the loco-motion)
Hm-hm-hm, jump up (come one)
Jump back (do the loco-motion)
You're looking good (come one, do the loco-motion)
Hm-hm-hm, jump up (come one)
Jump back (do the loco-motion)
