Lyrics

Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
(Do the loco-motion, loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Do the loco-motion, do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister she can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABCs
So come on, come on
Do the loco-motion with me
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Do the loco-motion, loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(Do the loco-motion, 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
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby, jump up, jump back
Oh well, I think you got the knack
(Know you've got it, woo!)
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
(Do the loco-motion, loco-motion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
(Do the loco-motion, do the loco-motion)
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 loco-motion with me
(Know you've got it, woo!)
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
(Do the loco-motion, loco-motion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
(Do the loco-motion, do the loco-motion)
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 loco-motion with me
Do the loco-motion with me
Do the loco-motion, loco-motion
Do the loco-motion, loco-motion
I can do it, we can do it, he can do it, she can do it, they can do it
We can loco-motion
Yeah, yeah, yeah, toot toot!
I can do it, we can do it, he can do it, she can do it, they can do it
We can loco-motion
Yeah, yeah, yeah, toot toot!
I can do it, we can do it, he can do it, she can do it, they can do it
We can loco-motion
Yeah, yeah, yeah, toot toot!
I can do it, we can do it, he can do it, she can do it, they can do it
We can loco-motion
Yeah, yeah, yeah, toot toot!
