Well the pony was funky
the watusi was kinda smooth
well the problem with all
those other dance steps was you had to move
well i found a brand-new step
and it doesn't take anything to get this groove,
And they're doing the standing still
and they're doing the standing still
and they're doing the standing still
and they're doing the standing still
Well it's a sensation…
across the entire nation.
a hundred million kids
all dancing in suspended animation, hmm…
and if the feeling's all right
we'll be standing still until the morning light

and they're doing the standing still
and they're doing the standing still
and they're doing the standing still
and they're doing the standing still
i'm not mad, i'm just disappointed
oh, my aching head.
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
well i finally knew
they were doing a brand-new step everybody isn't moving to
and they're doing the standing still
and they're doing the standing still
and they're doing the standing still
and they're doing the standing still
