1. Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now ! 
     C                           Am 
    Come on baby, do the locomotion ! 
         C                                          Am 
    I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now ! 
     C                       Am 
    Come on baby, do the locomotion ! 
            F                             Dm 
     My little baby sister can do it with ease, 
           F                       D 
    it's easier than learnin' your ABC, 
           C                            G                                  C 
    so come on, come on, do the locomotion with me ! 
 

                           F                            - F 
    You've gotta swing your hips n.ow, 
                                C 
    come on baby, jump up, jump back ! 
                 G                                         G7 
    Well, I think you've got the knack, woah woah ! 
 

       C                                Am 
 2. Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now ! 
          C                           Am 
    Come on baby, do the locomotion ! 
           C                                          Am

           C                           Am 
    Come on baby, do the locomotion !  
     F                                      Dm 
    Do it nice and easy, now, don't lose control, 
        F                            D 
    a little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul ! 
      C                                  G                                  C 
    So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me ! 
 

    F - C - G    G7 
                     Yay, yay, yay, yeah... 
 

       C                                     Am

    Come on baby, do the locomotion ! 
     C                                  Am

    It even makes you happy when you're feelin' blue, 
           C                            G                                  C
