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!
