Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it
If you give it a chance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with me
It's easier than learning your a b c's [bad word] on [bad word] on,
Do the loco-motion with me

You gotta swing your hips [bad word] on baby, jump up, jump back
Oh well I think you got the knack

Now that you can do it
Let's make a chain now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy now don't lose control
little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul [bad word] on [bad word] on,
Do the loco-motion with me

Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(C'mon 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 [bad word] on come on do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
