C                   Am
Everybody's doin' a brand-new dance, now
 C             Am
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
C                                   Am
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance, now
 C             Am
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
   F                      Dm
My little baby sister can do it with ease;
     F                         D
It's easier than learning your A-B-C's,
   C                 G                       C
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.

                           F
You gotta swing your hips, now. Come on, baby.
     C                      G
Jump up. Jump back. Well, I think you've got the knack.

C                       Am
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now.
 C             Am
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
C                             Am
A chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train, now.
 C             Am
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
F                         Dm
Do it nice and easy, now, don't lose control:
F                            D
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul.
   C                 G                       C     Am
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.

C                          Am
Move around the floor in a Loco-motion.
 C             Am
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
C                          Am
Do it holding hands if you get the notion.
 C             Am
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
        F                            Dm
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do.
   F                                D
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue,
   C                 G                       C
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.

C              Am
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
C              Am
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
