Ev-‘ry-bod-y's do-in' a brand new dance, now 
 -7* -7* -7*-7* 8   8  8  8  8    8 
(Come on ba-by, do the Lo-co-mo-tion) 
-3* -5*  -6   -5* -6   7  -6  
I know you'll get to like it 
-5*-3*   5  5 -3*   5   -5*
if you give it a chance now 
 -7* -7* -7*-7* 8   8  8  8  8    8
(Come on ba-by, do the Lo-co-mo-tion) 
-5* 7* -7* 7* -7* 8-7*7* -5* -6 -6  -5*  -6
My lit-tle ba-by sis-ter can do it with ease; 
-5*   7*-7*7*  -7*   8-7*7*  -5*  7-6 -5* 
It's eas-i-er than learn-ing your A-B-C's, 
-5*  8  -7*   7  -5*
So come on, come on, 
-6 -6  7  -6 7   -6   7  -5*

You got-ta swing your hips, now.

Come on, ba-by. 
  8 -7*    7  -5*   -5*  7
Jump up. Jump back. Oh well,  
-7*  8  -7* -7*  8   -7* 
I think you got the knack. 

-5*  -6  -5* -6  7-6-5*
Now that you can do it, 
  5    5  -3*  5    -5*
let's make a chain, now. 
 -7* -7* -7*-7* 8   8  8  8  8    8  
(Come on ba-by, do the Lo-co-mo-tion) 
-3*-5* -6 -5* -6 7  -6
A chug-a chug-a mo-tion 
-5* -3*  5   -3*   5    -5*    
like a rail-road train, now. 
 -7* -7*-7*-7*  8   8  8  8  8    8
(Come on ba-by, do the Lo-co-mo-tion) 
7* -7* 7*  -7*  8 -7*  7*   -6    -6  -5*  -6
Do it nice and eas-y, now, don't lose con-trol: 
-5*7* -7*  7* -7* 8  -7*  7*-5* 7  -6  -5* 
A lit-tle bit of rhy-thm and a lot of soul. 
  8  -7*   7 -5*  -6 -6  7  -6 7   -6   7  -5*   
Come on, come on, do the Lo-co-mo-tion with me.

(Come on ba-by, do the Lo-co-mo-tion) 
-5*-6  -5* -6  7 -6  -5*-3* 
Do it hold-ing hands   if 
 5   5  -3* 5   -5*
you get the no-tion. 
 -7* -7* -7*-7* 8   8  8  8  8    8
(Come on ba-by, do the Lo-co-mo-tion) 
   8    7* -7*  7* -7* 8-7* 
There's nev-er been a dance 
  7*   -5* -6-6 -5*-6
that's so eas-y to do. 
-5*7* -7*  7*  -7*  8 -7*
It ev-en makes you hap-py
