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!
