歌詞方面

填詞作曲由Gerry Goffin 及 Carole King

Everybody’s doing a brand new dance now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
I know you’ll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)

My little baby sister can do it with ease
It’s easier than learning your A-B-C’s
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby
Jump up, jump back
Well, I think you’ve got the knack, whoa, whoa

Now that you can do it, let’s make a chain now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
A chugga-chugga motion like a railroad train now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)

Do it nice and easy now, don’t lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me

Yay, yay, yay, yeah

Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you do get the notion
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)

There’s never been a dance that’s so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you’re feeling blue
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
(Come on) You gotta swing your hips now (do the loco-motion)
(Come on) That’s right (do the loco-motion)
You’re doing fine (come on, do the loco-motion)
Come on, baby (come on, do the loco-motion)
Mm-mm-mm
Jump up (come on) jump back (do the loco-motion)
You’re looking good (come on)
