D                   Bm
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
 D             Bm
(Come on baby, do the loco-motion)
  D                                 Bm

     G                      Em                        w/ (ouh)
  My little baby sister can do it with ease
       G                         E7 
  It's easier than learnin' your ABC's
     D                 A                
  So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me

    (Ouh) You gotta swing your hip now
        G
    (Wa-ouh) Come on baby
        D
    (Wa-ouh) Jump up, jump back
              A
    Oh well I think you got the knack, wo wo

Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
(Come on baby, do the loco-motion)
A chugga-chugga motion like a railroad train now
(Come on baby, do the loco-motion)

  Do it nice and easy now, don't loose control
  A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
  Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me

D  G  D  A  w/ solo sax  &  (Wa-ouh)                       (GFR: solo + long)

Yea-i-yea-i-yea-i-yeah

Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Come on baby, do the loco-motion)
Do it holdin' hands if you do get the notion
(Come on baby, do the loco-motion)

  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 loco-motion with me

     D
    (Come on, do the locomotion)
     G                                 x N  w/ ad lib  (fade out)
    (Come on, do the locomotion)
