Lyrics
There's a new beat and it's out on the street
Everybody you meet wants to share
It's a new sound and it's going around
You can almost pull it out of the air
When the toil of the day is over
Put your troubles to bed
Shake the world off your shoulder
There's a brand new way ahead
First you take a rhythm a fascinating rhythm
Get your body moving with the beat
Time to get a moving really do some grooving
Put some satisfaction in your feet and do the
Rockalocomotion the rockalocomotion
Come and do the locomotion rock
See the engine driver he's a jump and jiver
When he does the locomotion rock
Hear his whistle blowing time to you going
Then you do the locomotion rock
First you take a rhythm a fascinating rhythm
Get your body moving with the beat
Time to get a moving really do some grooving
Put some satisfaction in your feet and do the
Rockalocomotion the rockalocomotion
Come and do the locomotion rock
See the engine driver he's a jump and jiver
When he does the locomotion rock
Hear the whistle blowing time to get you going
Then you do the locomotion rock.
