Before The Loco-Motion made big waves around the world in 1988, Australia had already experienced
Kylie's version of the classic song. Unlike the 1988 version, Locomotion was not produced by SAW. Locomotion
became a huge hit in Australia and spent seven weeks at #1. Locomotion only charted in Australia, and had a limited
release outside of Oz.

Lyrics:
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like
it
If you give it a chance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's
easier than learning your a b c's
So come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips
now
Come on baby, jump up, hmmm jump back
Oh well I think you got the knack
Now that you can do it
Let's
make a chain now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
(C'mon baby do
the loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy now don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So come on,
come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with
me
Yeah
Chug chug (sampling)
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so
easy to do
It even makes you happy
When you're feeling blue
So come on come on do the loco-motion with me
You
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 gotta swing your hips now
