It's easier than learning your A-B-C's.

    D                 A                       D

Do it nice and easy now, don't lose control.

A little bit of rhythm, and a lot of soul.

D                 A                       D
Come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.

in a Loco-motion.

D              Bm
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.

   G                                E
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue.

    D                 A                       D
So, come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me.
