“Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now.
Come on baby, do the locomotion.
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now.

It's easier than learning your ABC's.
So come on, come on do the locomotion with me.”

Room enough to do what we will.
Sweet dreams of yestertime
Are running though my mind
Of a place I left behind.
Been so long, I can't remember when,
I've been to Canaan and I wanna go back again.”

Feeling lonely, and so cold,

I will follow where you lead.”

Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more.”
