[Chorus]
C                   Am                  C 
Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
             Am
Come on baby do the locomotion
  C                  
I know you'll get to like it 
       Am                   C
if you give it a chance now
              Am
Come on, baby do the locomotion
    F                      Dm
My little baby sister can do it with me
     F                        Am
It's easier than learning your A, B, C's
    C              G                           C
So, come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

[Verse 1]
                               F7
You gotta swing your hips now
                   C 
Come on baby, jump up, jump back
        G                G7
Well, I think you got the knack, whoah whoa

[Chorus]

    C                Am                      C
Oh, now that you can do it let's make a train now
              Am
Come on, baby do the locomotion
C                          Am                    C
a' chugga chugga motion like a railway train, now
              Am
Come on, baby do the locomotion
F                       Dm
Do it nice and easy now, don't lose control
  F                           Dm7
A little bit of rhythm and and whole lot of soul
C                G                     C
Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

Come on, baby do the locomotion
C                             Am               C
Do it holding hands if you get the notion
              Am
Come on, baby do the locomotion
F                     Dm
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
   F                               Dm7
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
    C                 G                     C
So, come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
