Locomotion (Australian Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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)

[Pre-Chorus]
Mm, my little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABCs

[Chorus]
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You've gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby
Jump up, mm, jump back
Well, I think you got the knack, oh

[Verse 2]
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
Chugga, chugga-motion like a railway train now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)

[Pre-Chorus]
Do it nice and easy now, don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You've gotta swing your hips now
Comе on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
Yеah

[Bridge]
Chug, chug, chug, ch-ch-chug, ch-ch-chug
Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug
Chug, chug, chug, ch-ch-chug, ch-ch-chug
Chug, chu-chug, chug, chug, chug
Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug
Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug

[Verse 3]
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
Yeah, do it holding hands if you get the notion
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)

[Pre-Chorus]
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue

[Chorus]
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You've gotta swing your hips now
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
Yeah
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You've gotta swing your hips now
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
Yeah
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You've gotta swing your hips now
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
Yeah
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You've gotta swing your hips now
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
Yeah

What did Kylie Minogue say about "Locomotion (Australian Version)"?
Genius Answer

This gentlemen, Greg Patrick, came up afterwards and said. ‘You should make a record,’ and then I had stars in my eyes and I was like, ‘Really? Wow,’ and he must’ve organized for me to do a demo, which I did, and in the meantime, that made it to Mushroom Records.
