The Loco-Motion Lyrics by Joanie Bartels

Dancin’ Magic

1991

Everybody's doing a brand-new dance, now
(Come on baby, do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby, do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it as ease
It's easier than learning your ABC's
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips, now
Come on, baby
Jump up, jump back
Well, now, I think you've got the knack
Oh, woah
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)
Just do it nice and easy, now don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Come on baby, do the loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you 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 feeling blue
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips, now
Come on, baby
Jump up, jump back
Yeah, you can do it
Do the loco, do the, the loco-loco-motion
(Come on, come on, do the loco-motion)
Do the loco, do the, the loco-loco-motion
(Come on, come on, do the loco-motion)
Do the loco, do the, the loco-loco-motion
(Come on, come on, do the loco-motion)
Come on, come on, the loco-motion
Come on, come on, the loco-motion
