The Loco-Motion Lyrics
Kylie Minogue
Lyrics
All aboard!
The loco-motion
The loco-motion
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)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABC's
So come on, come on
Do the loco-motion with me
You got to 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
(Come on baby do the loco-motion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
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
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
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Come on baby do the loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(Come on 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
(Come on, do the loco-motion)
(Come on, do the loco-motion)
(Come on, do the loco-motion)
(Come on, do the loco-motion)
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)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABC's
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
You got to swing your hips now, yeah
Come on baby, jump up, hmmm jump back
