D                   Bm
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
D            Bm
(C'mon baby, do the locomotion)
  D                                 Bm
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
D            Bm
(C'mon baby, do the locomotion)

        G                      Em
     My little baby sister can do it with ease
          G                         E7 E   
     It's easier than learnin' your A B C's
        D             A                     D
     So c'mon, c'mon, do the locomotion with me

                                       G
          You gotta swing your hips now

          C'mon baby 
               D
          jump up, jump back
                     A                          add4
          Oh well, I think you've got the knack

Now that you can do it let's make a chain, now
(C'mon baby, do the locomotion)
Chug-a-chug-a-motion 
like a railway train now
(C'mon baby, do the locomotion)

     Do it nice and easy now 
     and don't lose control
     A little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul
     So c'mon, c'mon, do the locomotion with me.

*Solo* (Bridge) D G D A add4 A

Move around the floor in a locomotion
(C'mon baby, do the locomotion)
Do it holdin' hands if you get the notion
(C'mon baby, do the locomotion)
     
     There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
     It even makes you happy when you're feelin' blue.
     So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me.
