About The Locomotion

"The Loco-Motion" is a 1962 pop song written by American songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King. "The Loco-Motion" was originally written for Dee Dee Sharp, but Sharp turned the song down. The song is notable for appearing in the American Top 5 three times, each time in a different decade: in 1962 by the American pop singer Little Eva,(U.S. No. 1); in 1974 by the American band Grand Funk Railroad (U.S. No. 1); and finally in 1988 by the Australian singer Kylie Minogue (U.S. No. 3). .

The Locomotion Lyrics

[00:07.97] Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
[00:11.81] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[00:15.12] I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
[00:19.34] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[00:22.74] My little baby sister can do it with ease
[00:26.41] It's easier than learning your A-B-C's
[00:30.15] So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
[00:35.28] You gotta swing your hips now
[00:38.83] Come on, baby
[00:40.86] Jump up, jump back
[00:44.65] Well, I think you've got the knack, whoa, whoa
[00:48.89] Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
[00:52.82] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[00:55.96] A chugga-chugga motion like a railroad train now
[01:00.27] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[01:03.65] Do it nice and easy now, don't lose control
[01:07.06] A little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul
[01:11.10] Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
[01:15.35]
[01:27.67] Yay, yay, yay, yeah
[01:29.53] Move around the floor in a loco-motion
[01:33.50] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[01:37.07] Do it holding hands if you do get the notion
[01:40.75] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[01:44.22] There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
[01:48.00] It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
[01:51.45] So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
[01:56.11] (Come on) you gotta swing your hips now
[01:59.87] (Come on) that's right (do the loco-motion)
[02:02.21] You're doing fine (come on, do the loco-motion)
[02:05.96] Come on, baby (come on, do the loco-motion)
[02:08.88] Mm-mm-mm
[02:10.00] Jump up (come on) jump back (do the loco-motion)
[02:13.67] You're looking good (come on)
[02:15.11]
