"The Loco-Motion" was written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and was
originally a #1 hit for their babysitter, Little Eva, in 1962 (King also
sang some backup vocals on the recording). In 1974, Grand Funk took the song
to #1 again, making it the second song of the rock era to reach #1 twice by
different artists (the first was another King/Goffin composition, "Go Away
Little Girl"). Carole King finally recorded her own song in 1980 on her
"Pearls" album.

The 80s version you seek was by Kylie Minogue. It reached #3 on the
Billboard Hot 100 the week of November 12, 1988. Here are the lyrics from

THE LOCOMOTION
Kylie Minogue
- written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin

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

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

(Repeat & fade)
