ARTIST: Carole King and Gerry Goffin
TITLE: The Loco-Motion
Lyrics and Chords


Everybody's doin' 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 with ease
It's easier to learn than your ABC's
So come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me

/ D - G - / / / / G - E - / / D A - D /

You got to swing your hips now
Come on, jump up, jump back
Oh, babe, I think you got the knack, whoa whoa

/ D - / G - D - / A - /

Now that you can do it, well 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, and don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
Well, come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me

Whoa whoa, move around the floor in a loco motion
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
Do it holdin' hands, if'n 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 feelin' blue
So come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
So come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
So come on, come on, and do the loco-motion with me
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
Come on, baby, do the loco-motion
