C                   Am
Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
 C          Am
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
  C
I know you'll get to like it
       Am
If you give it a chance now
 C          Am
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
   F                      Dm
My little baby sister can do it with me
     F                         D
It's easier than learning your a b c's
   C    
So come on, come on,
G                       C
Do the loco-motion with me

C                             F
You gotta swing your hips now
                   C
Come on baby, jump up, hmmm jump back
          G                      G7
Oh well I think you got the knack

C
Now that you can do it
      Am
Let's make a chain now
 C          Am
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)

 C          Am
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)

Do it nice and easy now don't lose control
  F                          D
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
   C
So come on, come on,
G                       C
Do the loco-motion with me

Break

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

 C          Am
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)

So come on, come on,
G                       C
Do the loco-motion with me
 C          Am
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
 C          Am
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
 C          Am
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion). . .
