The Loco-Motion chords
CEverybody's doin' a Ambrand-new dance, now
(CCome on baby, Amdo the Loco-motion)
CI know you'll get to like it if you Amgive it a chance, now
(CCome on baby, Amdo the Loco-motion)
My Flittle baby sister can Dmdo it with ease;
It's Feasier than learning your DA-B-C's,
So Ccome on, come on, Gdo the Loco-motion with Cme.
You gotta swing your hips, Fnow. Come on, baby.
Jump Cup. Jump back. Well, I Gthink you've got the knack.
CNow that you can do it, Amlet's make a chain, now.
(CCome on baby, Amdo the Loco-motion)
CA chug-a chug-a motion like a Amrailroad train, now.
(CCome on baby, Amdo the Loco-motion)
FDo it nice and easy, now, Dmdon't lose control:
FA little bit of rhythm and a Dlot of soul.
So Ccome on, come on, Gdo the Loco-motion with Cme.Am  
CMove around the floor in a AmLoco-motion.
(CCome on baby, Amdo the Loco-motion)
CDo it holding hands if you Amget the notion.
(CCome on baby, Amdo the Loco-motion)
There's Fnever been a dance that's so Dmeasy to do.
It Feven makes you happy when you're Dfeeling blue,
So Ccome on, come on, Gdo the Loco-motion with Cme.
