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

[00:08.13] Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
[00:12.04] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[00:15.36] I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
[00:19.69] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[00:22.78] My little baby sister can do it with ease
[00:26.40] It's easier than learning your A-B-C's
[00:30.19] So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
[00:35.27] You gotta swing your hips now
[00:39.14] Come on, baby
[00:41.19] Jump up, jump back
[00:44.69] Well, I think you've got the knack, whoa, whoa
[00:48.83] Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
[00:52.80] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[00:56.26] A chugga-chugga motion like a railroad train now
[01:00.29] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[01:03.87] Do it nice and easy now, don't lose control
[01:07.29] A little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul
[01:11.14] Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
[01:15.35]
[01:27.60] Yay, yay, yay, yeah
[01:29.51] Move around the floor in a loco-motion
[01:33.79] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[01:37.21] Do it holding hands if you do get the notion
[01:41.02] (Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
[01:44.20] There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
[01:48.03] It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
[01:51.75] So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
[01:56.10] (Come on) you gotta swing your hips now
[01:59.82] (Come on) that's right (do the loco-motion)
[02:02.42] You're doing fine (come on, do the loco-motion)
[02:06.15] Come on, baby (come on, do the loco-motion)
[02:08.82] Mm-mm-mm
[02:10.16] Jump up (come on) jump back (do the loco-motion)
[02:13.60] You're looking good (come on)
[02:15.19]
