The Locomotion (ESP 156 ) Elmer Sheffield, Jr.

OPENER

Circle to the left:
Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
Come on baby, do the locomotion
Walk around your corner, seesaw your own now
Allemande left and weave around the ring
It's easier to learn than your A.B.C.'s
Swing your lady round and promenade for me
Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

FIGURE

Heads promenade and go 1/2 around now
Square thru and you go 4
4 hands around and do a dosado
Swing thru tonight and let the boys run right
Do a 1/2 tag, trade and roll, then pass thru & trade by
Swing the corner, promenade oh me oh my
Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

BREAK

Sides face, grand square
You move around the floor in a locomotion
Come on baby, do the locomotion
Do it holding hands if you get the notion
Come on baby, do the locomotion
All 4 ladies promenade and swing those hips
Promenade your man and kiss his lips
Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

CLOSER

Circle
Now that you can do it, let's make a ring now
Come on baby, do the locomotion
Walk around that corner lady, seesaw your own now
Left allemande and weave that ring
There's never been a dance so easy to do
Swing your lady and promenade her too
Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

TAG

Come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
