Lyrics
Everybody's doin' a brand-new dance, now
Encouraging everyone to participate in a new dance.
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Invitation to perform the Loco-motion dance.
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
Confidence that people will enjoy the dance if they try it.
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Reiteration of the invitation to do the Loco-motion dance.
My little baby sister can do it with me
Even a young child can perform this dance.
It's easier than learning your A-be -see's
The dance is simpler than learning basic alphabets.
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
Encouragement to join and dance the Loco-motion together.
You gotta swing your hips, now. Come on, baby
Instruction to move hips while dancing.
Jump up. Jump back. Well, now, I think you've got the knack
Guidance to jump forward and backward, suggesting mastery.
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now
Suggesting creating a dancing chain now that the steps are known.
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Reiteration of the invitation to perform the dance.
A chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train, now
Comparing the dance moves to the motion of a train.
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Encouragement to continue doing the Loco-motion dance.
Do it nice and easy, now, don't lose control:
Advice to perform the dance smoothly without losing control.
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
Emphasizing the importance of rhythm and soul in the dance.
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
Encouragement to join and dance together.
Move around the floor in a Loco-motion
Instruction to move around the floor while doing the dance.
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Repeated invitation to do the Loco-motion dance.
Do it holding hands if you get the notion
Suggestion to dance while holding hands if one desires.
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)

There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
Expressing how easy the dance is to perform.
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
Highlighting how the dance brings joy, even in sad times.
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
Encouragement to join and dance the Loco-motion together.
