Doing The Standing Still

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
