Oh whoa-oh, well the pony was funky

The watusi was kinda smooth

Oh whoa-oh, well the problem with all

Those little dance steps was you had to move

Oh whoa-oh, well they found a brand-new step

And it doesn't take anything to get this groove, uh-huh!

And I don't want no standing still…

And I don't want no standing still…

And they're doing the standing still…

And I don't want no standing still…hey!

Oh whoa-oh, well it's a sensation…

Across the entire nation.

Oh whoa-oh, a hundred million kids

All dancing in suspended animation, hmm…

Oh whoa-oh, and the feeling's all right

We'll be standing still until the morning light, yeah!

And I don't want no standing still…

And I don't want no standing still…

And they're doing the standing still…

And I don't want no standing still…hey!

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed

Oh, my aching head.

Uh-huh!

Oh whoa-oh, in Fargo, six or seven kids

Watched the Plan in a strip-mall

I thought they were bored out of their skulls

But it turns out they were having a ball, uh-huh

Oh whoa-oh, well I finally knew

They were doing a brand-new step everybody isn't moving to

And I don't want no standing still…

And I don't want no standing still…

And they're doing the standing still…

And I don't want no standing still…yeah!
