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.

“The Loco-Motion” foi escrita por Gerry Goffin e Carole King inicialmente para a cantora de R&B Dee Dee Sharp, que recusou a canção.
A versão de Little Eva alcançou o nº 1 nas paradas dos EUA em 1962, tornando‑se a primeira das três gravações que atingiriam o top 3 em décadas distintas.
Em 1974, o Grand Funk Railroad regravou a música e também chegou ao nº 1 nos EUA, repetindo o sucesso de diferentes estilos musicais.
Kylie Minogue trouxe a canção de volta em 1988, chegando ao nº 3 nas paradas americanas, completando a presença da faixa nos top 3 em três décadas.
“The Loco‑Motion” foi a segunda música a chegar ao nº 1 nos Estados Unidos por duas artistas diferentes, fato já alcançado antes apenas por “Go Away Little Girl”, outra composição de Goffin e King.
