"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)

Move around the floor in a locomotion (come on baby, do the locomotion)
Do it holding hands as you get the notion (come on baby, do the
locomotion)
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 locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now, that's right
Jump back, come on baby
Mmmmmmmmm jump up, jump back
You're looking good...
