Now that you can do it, lets 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

A little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

Come on baby, jump up, jump back
       D 
Well I think you’ve got the nack

Lead


Chorus


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 thats so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you’re feelin blue
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me


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 (stop)
