The Contours, “Do You Love Me” Everybody's doin' 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 me; 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, now, I think you've got the knack. Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now. (Come on baby, do the Loco-motion) A chug-a chug-a 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 lot of soul. So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me. Move around the floor in a Loco-motion. (Come on baby, do the Loco-motion) Do it holding hands if you 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. Lyrics to “The Loco-Motion”, Little Eva:
