The Loco-Motion Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody's doing 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]
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 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)
Chug-a chug-a 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]
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
The loco-motion
Come on, come on, the loco-motion
Come on, come on, the loco-motion
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

[Verse 3]
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
Yeah, do it holding hands if you got 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 gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby, jump up
Mm, jump back
Well, I thin
k you got the knack, oh

[Bridge]
Do the loc—, do the loc—, do the loc—, the loco-motion
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
Do the loc—, do the loc—, do the loc—, the loco-motion
(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]
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
The loco-motion
Come on, come on, the loco-motion
Come on, come on, the loco-motion
Come on, come on, the loco-motion
Come on, come on, the loco-motion
Come on, come on, come on

Genius Annotation

“Locomotion” is the song that put Kylie Minogue on the map.

After an impromptu performance of the song at an Australian rules football charity event with the cast of the Australian soap opera Neighbours, Minogue signed with Mushroom Records to release a cover of the Little Eva song as her debut single.

After the song became a major hit in her home country (Australia), Minogue would sign with PWL Records in London and re-record the song under the title of “The Loco-Motion” and the production of Stock Aitken & Waterman.

What did Kylie Minogue say about "The Loco-Motion"?
Genius Answer

Aside from ‘Loco-Motion’s interesting history with Little Eva and Grand Funk Railroad, I have my own personal history,. It seems to be one of those songs that people know subliminally. Everyone picks up on the chorus. People know it from somewhere. A few of us from [Neighbours] were asked to help out at a football benefit concert. We sang a song and we were really nervous. We ended up having such a great time that we wanted to do another song. My suggestion was ‘Loco-Motion.’ I knew the words, because I had a Carole King songbook. And the band knew the track. The backing was simple.
